Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the jumbo shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Steak and Chicken

    Rub the skirt steak and chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of chili powder. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Grill the Shrimp

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Grill the Skirt Steak and Chicken

    Place the skirt steak and chicken breasts on the grill. Cook the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, and the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Mexican Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in chopped cilantro and a pinch of salt. Keep warm until serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the skirt steak and chicken, and serve alongside the grilled shrimp. Drizzle with Mexican butter and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
