It's summer time and after just having a modern Mexican lunch; I've been inspired to continue the Mexican flavors for tonight's dinner.
I had large shrimp which I decided to cook for tonight.
INGREDIENTS:
24 peeled large fresh shrimp
1 lime - juice squeezed
2 large cloves of garlic minced
1 tsp of salt
1-1/2 tsp of chili powder
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes and thread 6 of them in each skewer.

Mince the garlic before combining with ingredients

To skewer the shrimp: Make sure you try to take as much minced garlic into the curled shrimp. Lay them on the grill (if grilling) or on a broiler pan (if broiling) and evenly pour the rest of the marinade on top. Grill or broil 3 minutes on each side.

Goes well with salad on the side and some freshly cooked corn Mexican style which I'll cover in another blog.

Serve with a wonderful tangy accompaniment such as minced green mango with minced cilantro and a stalk of minced scallions. Season this mixture with sea salt. Put it in a cup, press it, then unmold on the platter before serving; as pictured above.
