Shrimp

Marinade

For Serving

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, minced ginger, thyme, finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper, allspice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Add the peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using skewers, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 4

    Grill the Shrimp

    Remove the shrimp from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Thread the shrimp onto skewers if desired. Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are opaque and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Remove the shrimp from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
