Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (2 Limes)
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chili pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 Tablespoon honey, preferably local
  • salt and black pepper, to taste

Remaining Ingredients:

  • 1-1/4 lbs. extra-large peeled deveined shrimp
  • 4 skewers*

Instructions

  1. Whisk marinade ingredients together in small jar with lid.
  2. Pour one-half of marinade mixture into large non-reactive bowl and reserve the other half in the jar for serving.
  3. Add shrimp to bowl and toss to coat. Marinate at least 15 minutes but not longer than 30 minutes.
  4. Thread the shrimp onto skewers, 5-6 per skewer.
  5. Preheat grill over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium. Lightly oil grill grate. Cook shrimp until no longer translucent, 3-4 minutes per side. Watch carefully as shrimp cook very quickly and will become rubbery if overcooked.
  6. Remove from grill onto a serving platter. Drizzle lightly with reserved marinade.
  7. Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley sprigs and lime slices or as desired above. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Note: This recipe was tested using uncooked peeled deveined extra-large shrimp (16-20 count). Shrimp are sold at the seafood counter by the approximate number per pound, and since size designation has not been standardized, it is best to use the count per pound as a guide. The fewer shrimp per pound, the larger they are. Larger shrimp can be labeled as “U 10” meaning under 10 per pound or labeled as “Colossal” which is typically also under 10 per pound. As a good rule of thumb Jumbo = 11-15, Extra-large = 16-20, Large = 21-30, Medium 31-35, Small 36-45 and Mini or Salad Shrimp is anything smaller. When using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw, rinse and pat dry before using.
