- 1 tablespoon lime zest zest of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat grill to 400 (medium-high heat)

- Add shrimps on to skewers. You can also place the shrimp directly on your grill grates or flat top grill if you do not have skewers.
- Place on hot grill and cook for 5 minutes. Flip + cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve shrimp in tacos, on a salad, or with rice.
Notes
You can cook these shrimp on a gas grill, wood fired grill, flat top, or in a sauté pan or grill pan on the stove!
The cooking of these shrimp is fool proof, it's very easy to cook the shrimp 4-5 minutes on each side in any method and the flavor of the marinade will come through!
You can use peeled shrimp or shrimp with the shells on but if you can buy medium/large shrimp shelled and deveined it will save you a lot of time!
