Creating Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp is a simple process that you can follow effortlessly. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the lime juice, chopped cilantro, olive oil, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 20-30 minutes at room temperature.
3. Preheat the Grill: While the shrimp is marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Skewer the Shrimp: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers.
5. Grill: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
6. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the shrimp from the grill. Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges.

These steps will lead you to a perfectly grilled shrimp experience that is both tasty and visually appealing.
