Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 for serving lime wedges
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the marinade until well combined.
Step 2
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade. Toss to coat the shrimp thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, dividing them evenly. Avoid crowding the shrimp to ensure even grilling.
Step 6
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and grilled to your preference.
Step 7
Remove the shrimp skewers from the grill, sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
