Grilled Chile-Lime Shrimp

Ingredients

1 1/2 lb medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tsp finely grated lime peel

1/4 Tbsp lime juice (about 1 1/2 limes)

1 jalapeno, seeded and finely minced

1 Tbsp garlic, minced

2 Tbsp soy sauce

3 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 Tbsp honey

Method

Combine all ingredients except shrimp in a small bowl. Place the shrimp in a large baggie; add marinade and coat. Refrigerate for 10 minutes, turn over bag, and continue for another 10 minutes. Do NOT marinate for longer than 20 minutes.

Skewer 6 shrimp at a time and grill for 2 minutes on each side or until opaque. Serve with a fresh squeeze of lime over each shrimp to bring out the flavor.

Shelly's Note: The chili powder is what gives the shrimp its color, so try not to skimp on it. For a light, healthy meal, toss the shrimp over a fresh salad.
