- Add the shrimp and stir to coat, making sure all shrimp is submerged in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours.2 pounds shrimp
- Once ready to grill, divide shrimp onto skewers and grill over high heat for 1-3 minutes per side. See notes 3&4 for different cooking methods!
- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if you like.
Notes
- (1) Ginger is optional, but adds a fresh, citrusy zing that pairs beautifully with the lime.
- (2) Use raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp — I like large or extra-large for grilling.
- (3) No grill? Cook on the stovetop (1–2 min per side), in the oven (425°F for 8–10 min), or air fryer (400°F for 6–8 min).
- (4) No skewers? A grill basket, grill pan, or even a foil-lined sheet pan will do the trick.
