Spicy Garlic Lime Shrimp Skewers Recipes

SPICY GARLIC LIME SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together Mazola Corn Oil, honey, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes.
• Add peeled and deveined shrimp to mixture. Lightly toss until all shrimp are covered in the mixture.
• Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 10-30 minutes. Heat up the grill while the shrimp are marinating.
• Cut up the onion and red bell peppers into 1" squares. In a bowl, toss with 1 teaspoon Mazola Corn Oil and salt and pepper, to taste.
• After your shrimp are done marinating, add shrimp and veggies to your skewer. We did it in this order: shrimp, onion, red bell pepper, shrimp, yellow bell pepper, green bell pepper, and repeat until full. You'll have 5 shrimp on each skewer, and you'll start and end with a shrimp (this is just a guideline, you can mix it up!).
• Once the grill is ready, grill over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side. All grills vary so you'll want to keep an eye on these as they're grilling. Keep checking so they don't burn, but you'll definitely want some of that pretty char that comes from the grill!
• Squeeze the juice from one lime wedge over the finished skewers. Use the remaining lime wedges to squeeze over the skewers as you eat them, if you'd like. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Enjoy!

CHILI LIME GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
• Pour the shrimp in a medium bowl or into a resealable zip top bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate the shrimp for a minimum of 30 minutes (if using smaller shrimp, marinate for 15-20 minutes). Do not marinate longer than specified as the shrimp will cook in the acid from the lime juice like ceviche.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the bowl and thread onto the skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer (you can fit more if they're smaller shrimp). Sprinkle the shrimp with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
• Grill 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and nicely charred, and the tail and head come together. The shrimp cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them to ensure that they don't overcook. Remove from heat and serve with lime wedges and cilantro leaves if desired. Enjoy!

SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak bamboo skewers in boiling water for at least 30 minutes.
• Combine the oil, honey, soy sauce, lemon, chillies, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor (you can use an immersion blender too) and blend until smooth.
• Place the shrimp in a bowl then pour over the marinade. Mix to make sure the prawns are covered then allow to marinade for 10-20 minutes.
• Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, pushing the skewer first through the tail and then through the thicker part to ensure they are secure on the skewers. Brush each skewers with marinade.
• Preheat the grill for 5 minutes on high heat. Add the skewers and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the shrimp are caramelized and opaque.
• Remove from the grill and serve with lemon wedges.

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 minutes per side.
