Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss well until all pieces are evenly coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Thread the shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling). Leave a bit of space between each shrimp for even cooking.
Step 5
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink, opaque, and slightly charred around the edges. Do not overcook to keep them tender.
Step 6
Remove the shrimp from the grill and carefully slide them off the skewers onto a serving platter.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grilled shrimp with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!
