Juicy shrimp marinated in a blend of spices, grilled to perfection, and drizzled with a tangy citrus glaze.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cumin powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread marinated shrimp onto skewers.
  3. Grill skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are cooked through and pink.

  5. Drizzle glaze over grilled shrimp and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately.
