Scale

3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon grated lime zest

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Step: In a small bowl, mix together the ingredients for the chili lime marinade.
Step: Add the shrimp to a large Ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over top of the shrimp and toss until well coated. Place in the fridge for at least 20-30 minutes to marinate.
Step: Place the shrimp on metal skewers, about 7-8 shrimp per skewer.

Notes

For best results, use raw peeled and deveined jumbo or black tiger shrimp. Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones in water to prevent burning. Avoid overcooking to keep the shrimp tender.
