Grilled Yucatan Shrimp

Yucatan Shrimp originates from the Gulf of Mexico's Florida coast. It resembles the flavors of the Yucatán Peninsula. The dish's unique blend of garlic and special spices makes this a light festive meal.



Serves 6

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Yucatan Rub
2 garlic cloves, minced
Juice of two limes
1/4 tsp Cayenne (optional)
Salt, to taste
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 lbs large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions:

1. Marinate the shrimp: in a large bowl, combine Yucatan Rub, garlic, lime juice, cayenne, and salt to taste. 
2. Whisk in the oil. Toss the shrimp in the mixture to coat.
3. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
4. Prepare the grill. Place the shrimp on six skewers and season with reserve marinade. 
5. Grill on high heat, basting frequently with the marinade, until the shrimp are just cooked, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve as an appetizer or as an entree with rice.
