Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 3

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Thread the marinated shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small space between each shrimp.

    ~10 min
  5. 5

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    ~5 min
  6. 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. 7

    Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle with a little extra olive oil if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

    ~2 min

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.
