Instructions
0 Soak the wooden skewers in a container of water for at least 30 minutes. 1 When the skewers are done, preheat the grill. We want it hot — 500-550°F. Make sure the grates are clean, too. 2 If you haven’t already, peel and devein the shrimp. To do this, pinch the tail of the shrimp and gently coax the shrimp peel from the meat. Pull it down the body, then remove the tail. Toss in a colander and rinse once all the shrimp have been peeled. 3 Place the shrimp in a bowl. 4 Pour 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the shrimp. 5 Add the lime juice and lime zest. 6 Measure in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, fine sea salt and black pepper. 7 Toss the ingredients until coated. 8 Skewer the shrimp on the soaked skewers. 9 Using tongs, carefully place the shrimp skewers onto the grill and close the lid. 10 Open after 2 minutes and flip the skewers. 11 After another 2-3 minutes, open the grill again and remove the skewers if the shrimp are cooked through. (They will be opaque and pink.) 12 Brush with the remaining melted butter, and let cool for 5 minutes. 13 Squeeze additional lime juice on the skewers if desired and serve.View original recipe
