How to Make Luscious Lime Shrimp

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  4. Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill or broil shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the remaining lime marinade with 1 tablespoon of chopped red bell pepper.
  7. Toss the cooked shrimp with the red pepper mixture.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with cucumber slices for a refreshing touch.
