Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb shrimp, peeled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp cilantro, chopped fine
- 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced fine
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp tequila (blanco or reposado)
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp white sugar
- 1/2 tsp chipotle powder
Instructions
- Mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Taste and adjust if needed.
- Add the shrimp, gently stirring to coat. Pour the contents into a plastic bag and marinate in the fridge for 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.
- Pull the shrimp out of the fridge 15 minutes before you’re ready to heat up the grill.
- Preheat your grill for direct cooking, high heat.
- Skewer the shrimp and grill over the coals, rotating as needed. They will take 2-3 minutes per side. The color of the shrimp should brighten to orange, and the temperature needs to be about 120F.
- Serve with more slices of lime and herbs if desired.
Notes
Shrimp cook very fast, so stay next to them and flip as needed.
