Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup Cuban Mojo Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 small red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion cut into chunks
  • 8 wooden or metal skewers

Equipment

  • 1 Large mixing bowl For marinating the shrimp
  • 1 whisk To blend the marinade
  • 8 Skewers Wooden soaked or metal
  • 1 Grill or grill pan Preheated to medium-high heat
  • 1 Spatula or tongs For turning the skewers

Method
 

Instructions
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Cuban Mojo Infused Olive Oil Blend, lime juice, orange juice, garlic, cilantro, honey, salt, black pepper, and cumin.
  3. Add the shrimp and toss until evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  4. Thread the shrimp, bell pepper pieces, and onion chunks onto the skewers, alternating as you go.
  5. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
  6. Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and lightly charred.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter and finish with extra cilantro and lime wedges if you like.

Notes

For the best texture, do not marinate the shrimp too long or they can turn soft. If using extra-large shrimp, add about 1 minute to the cook time. This recipe works well with rice, salad, or grilled corn on the side.
