Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 lbs jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, honey, chopped cilantro, paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until the oil and citrus are fully emulsified.
  2. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and toss gently to ensure every shrimp is coated in the marinade. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat an outdoor grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat.
  4. Place the shrimp on the grill and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until they are opaque throughout and exhibit mahogany-colored char marks.
