Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 tbsp orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the shrimp in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting the excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 5

Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Take care not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.

Step 6

Transfer the grilled shrimp to a serving platter. Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the shrimp. Pair with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
