Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
~5 min - 2
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, for optimal flavor penetration.
~30 min - 3
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- 4
Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp.
~10 min - 5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
~5 min - 6
Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and slightly charred.
~6 min - 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of ghost pepper powder to the marinade. Adjust cayenne pepper to your personal heat tolerance.
- Serve immediately after grilling. These are best enjoyed hot off the grill for maximum flavor and texture.
