Tequila Lime Shrimp
This grilled tequila lime shrimp recipe has an irresistible quick marinade. These sizzling and flavorful shrimp are sure to be a hit at any BBQ or summer party!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (26-30/pound) thawed, peeled, tails on
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons silver tequila
- Juice & 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 & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large Ziploc bag. Add the shrimp and toss gently to coat. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- If using wooden skewers, it's a good idea to soak them for 30 minutes to reduce burning/splintering.
- Thread the shrimp onto your skewers.
- 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.
