Ingredients
Prep time: 45 minutes (includes marinating)Cook time:
6 minutes
Serves: 4
Marinade Ingredients:
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper
- ½ tsp. smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon honey (preferably local)
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- Remaining Ingredients:
1-¼ lbs. extra-large peeled deveined shrimp - 4 skewers*
*Preparation Note: I usually use four metal skewers for this recipe. If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before adding the shrimp, so they don't burn.
Directions
Directions:
- • Mix the ingredients for the marinade together in a small jar with a lid.
- • Pour one-half of the marinade mixture into a large bowl. Keep the other half in the jar for later.
- • Put shrimp in a bowl and coat with the sauce. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes but no more than 30 minutes.
- • Put 5-6 shrimp onto each skewer.
- • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and then lightly oil the grill grate. Cook the shrimp until they are no longer see-through, which should take 3-4 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcook them though, as they cook quickly and will become rubbery if you do.
- • Take the food off the grill and put it on a serving platter. Drizzle it lightly with the reserved marinade. • Serve immediately with fresh parsley sprigs and lime slices.
Enjoy!
