Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling). Leave a bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred around the edges. Do not overcook to keep them tender.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and carefully slide them off the skewers onto a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled shrimp with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
