Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil Can substitute with avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup Lime juice Fresh lime juice recommended
  • 2 tablespoons Honey Maple syrup can be an alternative
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin Enhances the savory flavor
  • Salt and pepper, to taste Adjust according to preference
  • Skewers, as needed Wooden or metal, soaked if wooden

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat while the shrimp marinates.
  4. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, ensuring they are spaced evenly for even cooking.
  5. Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque.
  6. Serve with lime wedges to add a fresh burst of flavor upon serving.

Notes

Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes but no more than 1 hour to avoid becoming mushy. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning. Ensure your grill is hot enough before placing shrimp on it to get perfect grill marks and prevent sticking. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp; they should be just opaque and firm to the touch. For a burst of flavor, serve with a light cucumber salad, a refreshing complement to the dish.
