Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.25 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil, chopped cilantro, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 3
While the shrimp is marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, arranging them evenly.
Step 6
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and have grill marks.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate.
Step 8
Garnish with extra chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra citrus boost.
