Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 pound Shrimp thawed, peeled, tails on, large, 26-30 per pound

Marinade:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons tequila silver
  • lime juice and zest of 1/2 lime
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder or more to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a large Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Let sit for 30 minutes. 
  2. If using wooden skewers, it's a good idea to soak them for 30 minutes to reduce burning/splintering.
  3. Thread the shrimp onto your skewers. 
  4. Preheat BBQ/grill to high. Reduce heat to medium-high, and grill the shrimp for about 4 minutes/side, or until they're cooked through, taking care not to overcook. 

Notes

  • Keep in mind any BBQ/grill/grill pan is different, so actual cooking time may vary. 
  • Serves 2 as a main dish (assuming you have some sort of side with it), or 4 as an appetizer.
  • Nutritional information is provided as a courtesy only and should be construed as an estimate rather than a guarantee. Ingredients can vary and Salt & Lavender makes no guarantees to the accuracy of this information.
