Grilled jerk shrimp is an amazing dish packed with flavor! Here’s a simple recipe to make it:
Grilled Jerk Shrimp Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons jerk seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions For Cooking
- Prepare the shrimp: In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, jerk seasoning, minced garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Make sure the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Let them marinate for about 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Skewer the shrimp: Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each shrimp.
- Grill the shrimp: Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and have nice grill marks.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the shrimp and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley, if desired. Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.
