Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp
Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp features peeled and deveined shrimp marinated with fresh cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil. The brief 15-minute marinade infuses the shrimp with bright citrus and herb flavors. Grilling the shrimp for just a few minutes per side creates a tender, slightly charred exterior that pairs well with the tangy marinade. This recipe delivers shrimp with vibrant, zesty notes and a subtle garlic aroma, ideal for serving as a light main dish or alongside rice and vegetables.
