Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 cup whiskey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp red chili flakes
- 8 pieces skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
- 4 pieces optional garnish: lime wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whiskey, olive oil, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk until well blended.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the shrimp to absorb the flavors.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
Place the shrimp skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred around the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro and red chili flakes for an extra kick of flavor.
Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Pair with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
