Recipes

Recipe makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

1lb (455g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
8 wooden skewers
1 lemon, sliced (for garnish)
Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Chili Sauce:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
1 Tbsp tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp soy sauce or coconut aminos (low-carb option)
¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

Make the Chili Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, tomato paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. Dip each shrimp into the chili sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

Thread the coated shrimp on skewers, leaving a little space between each shrimp for even cooking.

Preheat the grill (or a grill pan) to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan to prevent sticking.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices.
