Grilled Rum-Infused Shrimp Skewers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Rum-Infused Shrimp Skewers.

1. Step 1

   Start by gathering a bowl and adding in your freshly chopped mint leaves, sugar, and minced shallot.

2. Step 2

   Grab a spoon and gently pound the mixture together; this will help release those delightful flavors that will elevate your dish.

3. Step 3

   Next, whisk in the white rum along with a generous 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice to create a zesty marinade.

4. Step 4

   Don’t forget to stir in the lime zest and season it all with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to transfer this vibrant marinade into a resealable plastic bag.

6. Step 6

   Add the shrimp, making sure they’re well coated in that flavorful mixture.

7. Step 7

   Squeeze out any excess air from the bag and seal it tightly.

8. Step 8

   Let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes; this is the perfect time for those flavors to mingle and infuse.

9. Step 9

   While the shrimp are soaking up all that goodness, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to prevent sticking.

10. Step 10

    Once the shrimp have marinated, take them out of the bag and thread them onto six skewers, ensuring they’re all facing the same direction for even cooking.

11. Step 11

    Discard the marinade; it’s done its job! Now, place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook them, turning frequently, until the shrimp are beautifully browned and opaque, which should take about 5 minutes.

12. Step 12

    For a final touch of brightness, drizzle the skewers with 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice just before serving.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the burst of flavors and the joy of grilling with friends and family!.
