Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled, deveined with tails-on
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
For the Marinade:
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 Habanero Peppers stem and seeds removed
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce

Instructions
- Place all the marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend on high until combined and smooth.
- Place the shrimp in a large bowl or bag. Pour the marinade on top and make sure that the shrimp is completely covered in the marinade.
- Refrigerate and marinade for at least 20-60 minutes for the best flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers while the shrimp is marinating so that they do not catch on fire while grilling.
- Preheat the grill over medium high heat.
- Thread the shrimp onto the skewers.
- Clean the grill grates thoroughly and rub them with the olive oil to keep the shrimp from sticking to the grill.
- Place the shrimp skewers in a single layer on the grill without overlapping. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.
- Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
You can top with extra lime juice once it’s removed from the grill to add a little bit of extract tangiest if you prefer!
