- Choose fresh shrimps, preferably large ones, for the best texture and flavor. If using frozen shrimp, make sure to thaw them thoroughly before marinating.
- Marinate the shrimp for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate, but avoid marinating for too long to prevent the shrimp from becoming mushy.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading the shrimp to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent the shrimp from sticking.
- Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Overcooking can make the shrimp tough and rubbery.
- For additional flavor, you can brush some reserved marinade (set aside before marinating the shrimp) on the skewers during grilling.
- Serve the grilled shrimp skewers with a wedge of lime and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness.
