Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon finely shredded lime peel
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 1-1/2 limes)
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons oil (olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more)
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp (about 6 per person)
- Lemon pepper
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat grill to medium-high.
-
Step 2: In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except shrimp and stir well. Peel shrimp except for tail, and devein. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
-
Step 3: Place shrimp in large resealable bag. Add marinade. Through bag, rub marinade into shrimp. Place in refrigerator for 25 minutes. Halfway through, turn bag and give shrimp another marinade massage. (Do not marinate longer then 25 minutes, or the acidic lime juice will cook the shrimp).
-
Step 4: Place shrimp on cutting board and nestle them together in groups of six. Using two bamboo sewers for each group, skewer the shrimp together (this is nice for presentation, keeps shrimp from falling into the grill, and makes them easier to turn).
-
Step 5: Season shrimp with lemon pepper.
-
Step 6: Grill shrimp on an oiled grill rack 2 minutes per side, or until opaque (a little longer for jumbo shrimp).
