Tequila-Lime Grilled Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons tequila
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 pinch garlic salt
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 6 (10 inch) wooden skewers
  • 1 large lime, quartered
Instructions
1
Combine the tangy flavors of lime juice, tequila, olive oil, garlic salt, cumin, and black pepper in a bowl by whisking them together until they form a harmonious blend. Transfer this mixture to a large, resealable container and add the succulent shrimp; seal the bag and massage it gently to ensure an even coating. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours prior to grilling.
2
Prepare your grill by submerging skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from catching fire. Preheat your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat level, then lightly brush the grill grate with oil and position it 4 inches away from the heat source.
3
Discard any remaining marinade from the shrimp and arrange them on prepared skewers, spacing them 5 to 6 per skewer. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook, uncovered, until they turn pink and are cooked through, flipping them once during the 5 to 7 minute cooking time.
