How to Make Luscious Lime Shrimp
- 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.
- Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined) to the bowl and gently toss to coat.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
- Grill or broil shrimp for 1 1/2 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining lime marinade with 1 tablespoon of chopped red bell pepper.
- Toss the cooked shrimp with the red pepper mixture.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately with cucumber slices for a refreshing touch.
