Chile Lime Shrimp Skewers
(From Laura Bolton at Fork Knife Swoon, forkknifeswoon.com);
Ingredients
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- 11-2 jalapeno or serrano chiles (according to spice level), seeds removed and roughly chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined
Preparation
Preheat the broiler. Put the skewers into a bowl of water to soak to avoid catching them on fire.
Add the lime zest and juice, chiles, garlic, cilantro, mint and olive oil to a food processor and blend to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour over the shrimp and let marinate for 10-30 minutes.
Place 4-5 shrimp on each wooden skewer and lay the skewers on a non-stick sheet pan. Brush the shrimp with the remaining sauce. Broil for 4-5 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Serve immediately.
