Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 pieces skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Step 2

Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation if desired. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

Add lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, chopped cilantro, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with minced garlic. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 6

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent the shrimp from sticking.

Step 7

Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, distributing them evenly.

Step 8

Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 10

Serve the shrimp skewers warm, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
