Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Water (for thinning aioli, if needed)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp marinade by whisking together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon paprika in a large bowl.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes while you prepare the sauces.
For the garlic-lime sauce, melt 2 tablespoons butter and stir in the remaining lime juice (from the marinade ingredients), 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and a pinch of chili flakes (optional). Set aside.
For the spicy aioli, whisk together 0.5 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons Sriracha or hot sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 tablespoon water (if needed to thin the sauce). Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers if using a grill, or place them directly on the grill pan.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until pink, opaque, and slightly charred. Remove from the grill.
Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Brush them with the prepared garlic-lime sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve the shrimp immediately with the garlic-lime sauce drizzled on top and the spicy aioli on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped cilantro and chili flakes, if desired.
