Mexican Grilled Shrimp are a fresh, fast, and easy seafood recipe with flavors from Mexico! Great for a summer BBQ grill to use on tacos, salads, fajitas, or on their own. Gluten free, dairy free, keto low carb. A healthy high protein dinner idea.
Combine all of the ingredients together in a large bowl. Mix to combine.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours.
After marinating, preheat your grill to medium high.
Skewer the shrimp onto your skewers. Try to insert the skewer at the skinner end plus the larger end to make them more secure.
Once the grill is hot and shrimp are skewered, place the skewers on the grill.
After 2-3 minutes, when the bottom of the shrimp is mostly white, flip the shrimp.
Cook an additional 2 minutes and remove from the heat.
Serve warm as desired.
Notes
It is better to undercook the shrimp slightly rather than overcook, as overcooking makes them rubbery.You know when to flip the shrimp when the bottom half is mostly white.You know to remove the shrimp from the grill when the back crease of the shrimp is barely/just white and not gray/clear.The exact servings will vary depending on how you are using the shrimp. Two pounds of large shrimp is approximately 50-65 shrimp.
