Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Grill or Griddle Pan
- Skewers
- Tongs
- Chef's knife.
- Zester
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs SHRIMP
- 3 tbsp OLIVE OIL
- 1 RED CHILI
- 2 GARLIC CLOVES
- 1 tsp DRIED OREGANO
- 1 LIME
- 1/2 tsp SEA SALT
- 1/4 tsp BLACK PEPPER
- 1 tbsp PARSLEY
Instructions
- Pat your shrimp dry with a clean paper towel first. This helps the oil and spices stick much better. Place the dry shrimp into your large mixing bowl now.
- Add the olive oil and minced garlic to the bowl. Toss in the chopped chili and the dried oregano too. Grate the lime zest directly over the shrimp for freshness.
- Squeeze the fresh lime juice into the mixing bowl carefully. Season the mix with sea salt and black pepper. Stir everything together until every shrimp is well coated.
- Let the shrimp sit in the bowl for 15 minutes. Do not wait too long or they will get mushy. This short time lets the bold flavors soak in deep.
- Thread the shrimp onto your skewers while the grill heats. Push them close together to keep the moisture inside. This also makes them much easier to flip over.
- Place the skewers on the hot grill grates immediately. Cook them for two minutes on the first side. You want to see a bright pink color appear.
- Flip the skewers over using your kitchen tongs gently. Cook for another two minutes on the second side. Remove them once they are opaque and slightly charred.
Notes
- Always use fresh lime juice for the best citrus flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers in water so they do not burn.
- Keep the grill very hot to get great sear marks.
- Do not overcook the shrimp or they will become rubbery.
- Pat the shrimp very dry before adding any oil.
- Use jumbo shrimp for the juiciest results on the grill.
- Add a tiny bit of honey for extra brown color.
- Serve the shrimp immediately while they are hot and fresh.
