Ingredients
- about 16 medium shrimp peeled and deveined, leaving the tail on.
- 1 lime cut in half, and then into thin wedges
- the juice of 1 lime
- chipotle chili powder
- salt and fresh cracked pepper
pomegranate salsa
- arils, or seeds, from one pomegranate
- 1/3 medium red onion minced
- 1 Jalapeño minced, seeds and all
- Handful of fresh cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water while you prep everything,
- Thread shrimp and lime wedges alternately on each skewer.
- Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the chili powder, on both sides.
- Pre heat a grill pan until quite hot. Cook the skewers for about 2 minutes on the first side, and a minute or so on the second side, just until the shrimp are done.
- As you take the shrimp off the grill, give it a good squeeze of lime juice, and serve the shrimp immediately, over a bed of lettuce with the salsa on the side.
- To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients and mix. Taste to adjust the amount of lime juice.
