Ingredients
For the Shrimp
- 2 to 2 ½ pounds peeled deveined shrimp (12 to 15 per lb.), rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
For the Corn Salsa
- 1 cup fresh corn cut from the cob
- ¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
- 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- fresh lime juice to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine the olive oil, cilantro, lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and add the shrimp and coat thoroughly.
- Thread the seasoned shrimp on metal or soaked wooden skewers
- Lay shrimp skewers on an oiled barbecue or grill pan over high heat. Cook, turning once, until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, about 5 to 6 minutes total. Remove and serve with the corn cotija topping.
- Combine the ingredients for the corn topping in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Serve alongside the shrimp + extra lime wedges.
Notes
- They can act as a perfect appetizer – or you can serve them up alongside some flour tortillas and a giant bowl of guacamole and make your own taco guac wrap situation.
