Spicy Shrimp Recipe

Makes 4 servings | Gluten free and dairy free

Step 1

3 Tbsp avocado oil
1-2 tsp cayenne or chipotle pepper
1-2 pounds large shrimp, deveined, tails on and shells removed
5-10 wooden skewers, soak in water 20 minutes before using
Lime wedges and fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Heat the grill to 400F.
2. Drizzle shrimp with oil and season with cayenne or chipotle pepper.
3. Skewer the shrimp; if you can find flat skewers these work best and make flipping the shrimp much easier.
4. Place shrimp skewers on the grill for 3-4 minutes or until they release from the grate.
5. Flip and grill another 4 minutes.
6. Flip them one last time.
7. Remove from the grill.

These make for a great appetizer or serve them as a meal with a side of our Jicama Salad and fresh fruit.
