Grilled Garlic and Lime Shrimp Skewers

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup cilantro (finely minced)
• 1 lime (zested)
• 1/3 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 medium jalapeno (finely minced (seeds removed and discarded))
• 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 1/2 pounds peeled and deveined shrimp ((16-20) thawed if frozen)

Instructions

1. 1

   In a shallow dish; add cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, avocado oil, jalapeño, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, cumin and coriander. Whisk to combine.

2. 2

   Toss the shrimp in the garlic lime marinade and let sit for no longer than 10 to 15 minutes (this will depend on the size of your shrimp).

3. 3

   Meanwhile, preheat your grill to 500°. I like to thread the shrimp on to sets of 2 skewers and place in a rimmed metal pan or tray. Pour remaining marinade over top.

4. 4

   Once the grill is pre-heated, generously grease your grill grates. I do this by adding some avocado oil to a small bowl and soaking it up with a wad of paper towel. Use tongs to wipe the oiled paper towel on the grill grates.

5. 5

   Place the garlic cilantro lime shrimp skewers on to the prepared grill grates. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, turn and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until the shrimp is opaque and fully cooked.

6. 6

   Remove and serve over rice or tuck into corn tortillas with your favorite toppings. (see post for specifics)
