Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 2 limes lime juice

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Wooden or metal skewers
  • Bowls for mixing and marinating
  • Tongs for flipping the skewers

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss until they’re fully coated. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes.
  3. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, about 4-5 per stick. Place them on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred.

Notes

Don’t skip the marinating step; it's key for flavor. If short on time, even a quick 10-minute marinade helps. To enhance flavor, consider sprinkling a pinch of sugar in the marinade for caramelization. For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; they can be enjoyed cold in salads or wraps. Feel free to double the recipe for larger gatherings as these skewers are always a hit!
