Grilled Ginger Lime Shrimp image

This can be served as a main dish or a side dish. We usually have it as the prelude to our main course. Be sure to soak your wooden skewers in warm water for at least 20 min to 1 hour before you throw them on the grill or they will burn. I learned this the hard way...

Yield 31-40 shrimp

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb large shrimp, uncooked, deveined, shelled, tails on
10 -12 pre soaked wooded skewers
1 tablespoon fresh lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated (I don't bother removing the skin)

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tablespoon of fresh lime Thai basil, chopped (standard basil will do too)
1/2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Start by getting your grill to about a medium heat. Brush the hot grill rack with olive oil to prevent sticking.

  • Skewer about 4 shrimp on each pre soaked wooden skewers. Arrange on grill so they do not overlap. Brush with reserved marinade occasionally while cooking. Grill about 7 min on each side, or until shrimp curl tail to head and turn pink.
  • Garnish with lime wedges and some more chopped lime Thai basil and cilantro
  • Enjoy! :).
