Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Lime zest
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pcs Lime wedges (for serving)
- 6 pcs Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the raw shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
Remove the shrimp kabobs from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp.
