Ingredients
Marinade and Shrimp
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1/4 cup Fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Chili garlic sauce or Sriracha
- 2 lbs Shrimp, peeled and deveined
Garnish
- 1/4 cup Fresh chopped cilantro
- Serrano rounds, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Soak Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Prepare Marinade and Marinate Shrimp: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, honey, low-sodium soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce or Sriracha. Remove about 1/4 cup of this marinade to use during grilling. Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade and toss well to coat. Allow the shrimp to marinate for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat Grill and Thread Shrimp: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp evenly onto the soaked skewers, taking care not to overcrowd them.
- Grill Shrimp: Place the shrimp skewers on the grill. Quickly brush them with the reserved marinade to enhance flavor and moisture. Cook shrimp for about 3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque, being careful not to overcook.
- Serve and Garnish: Remove the shrimp from the grill and arrange on a serving platter. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro, serrano slices for heat, and lime wedges for an added citrus zing.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers helps prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Shrimp cook very quickly; overcooking will result in rubbery texture.
- Control the heat level by adjusting the amount of chili garlic sauce or substituting with less spicy options.
- Can be served with rice, salad, or in tacos for a complete meal.
- Ensure shrimp are peeled and deveined for better texture and taste.
