- 1 lb medium or large shrimp deveined and peeled
Shrimp Marinade
- ¼ cup avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ⅛ tsp chili powder
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped
Preheat grill to 350-450℉.
Prepare the marinade by combining all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Whisk together. Remove 2 tbsp of the marinade and set aside.
Add shrimp to a medium size bowl, pour the marinade over the top and gently mix to ensure all the shrimp is coated in the marinade. Let sit for 15 minutes.
If using wooden skewers, let soak in water during this time.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade and skewer.
Place the shrimp skewers on the grill over direct heat. Let cook for 3-4 minutes, then turn and cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Brush the shrimp with the set aside marinade during cooking. Be careful as drips will cause the fire to jump. Shrimp will turn opaque and have a pink appearance when done cooking.
Remove the shrimp from the grill and serve warm.
