Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, tossing until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp.
- Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Once cooked, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
- Serve your Spicy Grilled Shrimp Skewers hot, alongside your favorite side dishes, and enjoy a flavorful seafood feast!
