Time 1h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

¼ cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons tequila
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
15 large tiger shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 wooden skewers

Steps:

  • Whisk olive oil, lime juice, tequila, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Soak wooden skewers in a bowl of water for 30 minutes.
  • Remove shrimp from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread shrimp on skewers, piercing once near the tail and once near the head.
  • Arrange skewers on preheated grill; cook shrimp until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, 6 to 8 minutes.
