Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tequila Lime Grilled Shrimp Skewers.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, blend together the shrimp, olive oil, chopped cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, tequila, cayenne pepper, and salt, ensuring each shrimp is generously coated in the zesty marinade.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Step 3
While the shrimp soak up the goodness, preheat your outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grill grate to keep things from sticking.
Step 4
Once the marinating time is up, remove the shrimp from the bowl and thread them onto soaked bamboo skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.
Step 5
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, watching for the shrimp to turn a lovely pink and become perfectly cooked.
Step 6
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma as you savor each bite of these deliciously grilled shrimp.
