Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 2 tsp freshly-grated ginger (about a 2-inch piece)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1-2 lb large shrimp

Method
 

  1. 1.
  2. In a small bowl, squeeze the lime to extract the juice, then add the red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, salt, black pepper, and cilantro.
  3. Mix well with a fork, then drizzle in the oil, stirring constantly.
  4. 2. With a small, sharp knife, pierce the shrimp at the head end and carefully cut along the back toward the tail, removing the dark vein.
  5. Rinse with running water.
  6. Pat dry, then place the shrimp in a medium bowl and mix with the marinade.
  7. Cover tightly, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  8. 3.
  9. Preheat the gas grill on high heat with the lid closed for about 10 minutes.
  10. Thread the shrimp on skewers, leaving a little room between them so they don’t steam.
  11. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side with the lid closed. You know how you could do that? Try it on scallops or cubes of dense white fish, chicken breast, or pork chops.
