Notes

If you plan to serve cilantro spiced shrimp with broccoli, you should serve it immediately. The flavors of the marinade will mellow after it sits. However, if you're making a large portion of this recipe, you can freeze it and reheat it later. You can also store the leftovers for up to two days. A few hours before serving, you can let the shrimp marinate, start cooking the buckwheat.

Grilled Coriander Spiced Lime Shrimp

Ingredients:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground coriander
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Salt and black pepper to taste
Skewers, wooden or metal

Instructions:

Prep the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, lime zest, and lime juice. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Marinate the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring each shrimp is coated evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Preheat the Grill: If you’re using a charcoal grill, light the coals and let them ash over. If you’re using a gas grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Thread the Shrimp: While the grill heats up, thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Make sure to leave a little space between each shrimp, allowing for even cooking.
Grill the Shrimp: Place the shrimp skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turns pink and slightly charred. Be cautious not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery when done.
Serve: Once done, remove the shrimp skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute. Garnish with fresh lime wedges and additional coriander for extra flavor. Serve your grilled Coriander Spiced Lime Shrimp hot off the grill.

Tips for making Coriander Spiced Lime Shrimp

Cooking Tip

Perfectly Marinate: Give your shrimp time to soak up the flavors by marinating for at least 30 minutes. This allows the coriander and lime to infuse every bite.
Grill Like a Pro: If you’re grilling, preheat the grill thoroughly and oil the grates. This prevents sticking and ensures those beautiful grill marks.
Don’t Overcook: Shrimp cook quickly, so be vigilant. Overcooked shrimp can become tough and rubbery. As soon as they turn pink and opaque, they’re ready.
Freshness Matters: The quality of your shrimp is crucial. Opt for fresh, large shrimp for the best texture and taste.
Zest the Lime: The lime zest is a game-changer. It adds a fragrant citrus punch to the dish. Don’t skip it!

Serving Suggestions

Fresh Salad: Serve your shrimp over a bed of mixed greens, drizzled with a light vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast.
Coconut Rice: Pair your shrimp with fragrant coconut rice for a tropical twist that complements the citrusy flavors.
Avocado Salsa: Top your shrimp with a zesty avocado salsa for a creamy, tangy addition that balances the spices.
Crusty Bread: A slice of crusty bread is perfect for sopping up the delicious lime and coriander marinade.
Margarita: For a delightful beverage pairing, a classic margarita with a salted rim enhances the lime theme.
