Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together until fully blended to create the marinade.
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring all the shrimp are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, distributing them evenly.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque throughout.
Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the Keto Garlic Lime Grilled Shrimp Skewers hot, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
