I have been craving grilled shrimp all summer. I finally bought some shrimp, marinated them, and grilled them. They were so good, I made them two days in a row.

It’s nearing the end of summer. My family has to grill more often. Even though we still use our grill in the winter, I still want to grill as much as I can before it turns cold. Summer is such a fun time of year! We love to be outside enjoying the beautiful season.

Shrimp

oil

garlic

jalapeńo

brown sugar

smoked paprika

chili powder

garlic powder

onion powder

cumin

salt

pepper

lime juice

fresh cilantro

Skewers

How to Make Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp:

Thaw the shrimp.

Mince the garlic.

Chop the cilantro.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a big enough bowl to hold a pound of shrimp.

Add the shrimp to the marinade and stir to coat.

Marinate the shrimp for 20-30 minutes.

When ready to grill, stir to coat the shrimp.

Grill the shrimp for about 3 minute on each side. The shrimp will turn pink and slightly opaque in color. If the shrimp looks bright white, you may have over cooked them. Watch them closely. I have over cooked them many times but, I still love them. They are delicious.

Enjoy!! 😊
