Chili Lime Shrimp
Ingredients
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 4 teaspoons brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- 8 ounces shrimp, cleaned, peeled and de-veined (about 12-14 pieces)
- 4 skewers
Directions
- Mix the lime juice, brown sugar and chili pepper in a small bowl.
- Add the shrimp to a large zip lock bag or sealable container, pour in the lime juice marinade and mix well to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Preheat a barbeque grill on high heat.
- Remove the shrimp from the container, discard the marinade, and add 3-4 pieces to each skewer. Grill a few minutes on each side until shrimps are slightly pink.
***If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 5-10 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
