    I love shrimp and even posted my grilled shrimp recipe previously, but I thought I’d turn that into tacos (because why not!) and share them with you all!

    You can top these with my easy cilantro lime sauce (as pictured) or whip up some mango salsa and eat your taco loving heart out!

    • garlic powder
    • salt
    • red pepper flakes-this makes the shrimp a little spicy! You can totally skip if you don’t want the heat!
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon paprika

    Shrimp Kabobs- Grill Shrimp

    What if you don’t have a bbq? How long do you cook shrimp in the oven?

    • To cook shrimp kabobs in the oven simply preheat the oven to 450°F. Skewer your shrimp and lime halves. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet (use olive oil or non-stick cooking spray). Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is white and opaque (not see through).

    What if I don’t have skewers and don’t have a bbq?

    • Bake in the oven by simply preheating the oven to 450°F then place shrimp on a lightly greased baking sheet (use olive oil or non-stick cooking spray). Try to make sure the shrimp are in one layer and not stacked on top of each other. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is white and opaque.
    • Or cook in a skillet on the stove top! Simply heat up 1 tbs olive oil in a medium size skillet over medium heat. Add your shrimp, stirring frequently, and cook for 5-7 minutes or until white and opaque!

    Ingredients
      

    • Ingredients
    • 1 lb extra-large raw shrimp * peeled and deveined (frozen or fresh)
    • 1 tbs garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 2 tbs olive oil
    • 1 tbs lime juice

    Additional items

    • 1 batch cilantro lime sauce – link to recipe in instructions
    • key limes for garnish
    • corn tortillas
    • skewers*

    Instructions
     

    • If shrimp are frozen thaw them under cold running water.
    • Heat up your grill (for alternative cooking methods see the post above)
    • In a medium sized bowl mix together all the spices, olive oil, and lime juice.
    • Add in the shrimp and toss to coat. I used my hands to do this but tongs should work well too.
    • Skewer the shrimp.
    • Brush your grill grate lightly with olive oil. Cook the shrimp kabobs on the grill for 3 minutes, flip, and cook for another three. When done the shrimp should no longer be see through, but white, pink, and opaque (not see through!).
    • Whip up some cilantro lime sauce (or mango salsa if that’s more your style!)
    • Fry up some corn tortillas, make your tacos, and enjoy!

    Notes

    *You can easily double or triple this recipe! *I used metal skewers but you can use wooden skewers too. Just make sure to soak the wooden ones to prevent any charring or fires.
