KP Cilantro Lime Shrimp
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
1 bunch of cilantro2-3 cloves of garlic, mincedjuice of two limes2 T olive oil2 lbs. of peeled, uncooked, shrimp (cocktail size)1 t of Adobo or other seasoned saltBamboo skewers
Add cilantro, garlic, lime juice and olive oil to food processor or blender and puree.
Add shrimp and puree into a plastic bag and seal. Shake to cover shrimp with the puree.
Let sit for 3+ hours.
Thread 6-7 shrimp on each skewer. Some people soak the skewers in hot water for 30 minutes prior to putting the shrimp on so the skewer doesn't burn - I don't bother.
Then grill on a low-med grill, or under the broiler, for 3 minutes on each side until just pink. Easy to overcook so watch it.
I take it off the grill and let sit under aluminum foil when there is still a little grey. Because it will cook a little more while in the foil.
Serving Size: Serves 6-ish
