Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 lime lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails on for presentation. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic cloves, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, ground cumin, chili powder, and black pepper. Whisk together to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss well to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but not longer than an hour to avoid over-marinating.
Step 4
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 6
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Step 7
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and have a nice char.
Step 8
Remove from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
