  • Total Time: 40

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1/4 cup tequila
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Start by marinating the shrimp. In a bowl, mix tequila, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure it’s nice and hot for that perfect char!
  • Once marinated, thread the shrimp onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Place the skewers on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Watch them closely so they don’t overcook!
  • Remove from the grill and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your delicious Grilled Margarita Shrimp!
