The Star of the Show: Our Shrimp

First things first, let’s get a good look at our main attraction. Feast your eyes on this delicious grilled shrimp, just waiting to be tossed on the grill!

Grilled Shrimp

Ingredients That’ll Make You Say ‘Aye!’

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions: Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. This is your secret potion, so mix it well!
  2. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss them around until they’re fully coated in that delicious marinade. Let them marinate for about 30 minutes – this is the time to ponder why the rum is gone!
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you’re feeling fancy, you can thread the shrimp onto skewers, but you can also grill them directly on the grates if you prefer a more pirate-like approach.
  4. Place the shrimp on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re pink and opaque. Pro tip: If they start dancing, you’ve let them go too long!
  5. Once you’ve achieved that perfect grill marks and glorious aroma, remove the shrimp from the grill, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro for that extra flair.
  6. Serve immediately! You may want some extra lime wedges for squeezing over the top, just to remind you of those lost rum days.

Now that you’ve cooked up a plate full of these eye-catching, tastebud-tingling grilled shrimp, grab your favorite beverage (preferably something with rum in it), and enjoy a meal fit for any swashbuckler! Bonne appétit!
