Instructions

1 If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes prior to using.
2 Place a cast iron grill pan over medium high heat. Alternatively prepare
charcoal grill or preheat gas grill. You can also use electric grill top.
3 Devein and peel shrimp. Leave tails on if preferred or remove at this time.
Place shrimp in large bowl and set aside.
4 In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup whisk together lime juice and zest,
cilantro, garlic, chili powder, olive oil, and salt. Reserve a couple of
tablespoons of marinade.
5 Add the rest of the marinade to the shrimp and let marinade in the refrigerator
for at least 30 minutes, up to an hour. (The lime juice will start to "cook" the
shrimp and that's OK).
6 Place shrimp onto skewers if desired.
7 Place skewered shrimp or loose shrimp onto cooking surface. Cook for about 2
minutes on each side until shrimp starts to curl and turns pink. Set aside and
finish cooking the rest of the shrimp.
8 Drizzle reserved marinade onto cooked shrimp
