Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 whole lime wedges, for serving
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, honey, cumin, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and gently toss until they are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked wooden skewers, making sure not to overcrowd each skewer.
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque with a slight char.
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve the garlic lime grilled shrimp skewers immediately, accompanied by lime wedges for extra zing.
