Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Lime Grilled Shrimp.
Step 1
To start your delicious Cajun shrimp dish, grab a resealable plastic bag and mix together the Cajun seasoning, fresh lime juice, and vegetable oil.
Step 2
This flavorful marinade is the key to infusing your shrimp with that zesty kick.
Step 3
Once combined, add in the peeled and deveined shrimp, making sure they’re thoroughly coated in the marinade.
Step 4
Squeeze out any extra air from the bag, seal it tightly, and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Step 5
This short marinating time allows the shrimp to soak up all those vibrant flavors.
Step 6
While the shrimp are marinating, preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat.
Step 7
To keep your shrimp from sticking, lightly oil the grill grate—this little step makes a big difference! After the shrimp have marinated, take them out of the bag and give them a gentle shake to remove any excess marinade.
Step 8
It’s time to say goodbye to that leftover marinade; it’s done its job! Now, place the shrimp on the hot grill and let them cook for about 2 minutes on each side.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a beautiful bright pink and the meat looks opaque in the center.
Step 10
This quick grilling process not only seals in the flavors but also gives your shrimp a delightful char.
Step 11
Enjoy your perfectly grilled Cajun shrimp, bursting with flavor and ready to impress!.
