A delightful twist on grilled shrimp, infused with citrus and herbs for a fresh and vibrant flavor.
Combine the lime zest, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil, lime juice, and garlic in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Ensure the marinade is well mixed to evenly coat the shrimp.
Add the shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly.
Let the shrimp sit in the marinade for a more intense flavor.
Let the shrimp marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Avoid marinating for too long as the citrus can start to cook the shrimp.
Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers, reserving the marinade.
Leave a small gap between each shrimp for even cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-7 minutes, turning once and brushing with the reserved marinade occasionally.
Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, being careful not to overcook.
Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
