A flavorful marinade that enhances the taste of grilled shrimp, perfect for a quick and delicious meal.
Combine the olive oil, lime juice, cayenne pepper, black pepper, seasoning salt, and cilantro in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Add the minced garlic to the marinade and mix well.
Minced garlic releases more flavor into the marinade.
Place the shrimp in the bowl with the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all shrimp are coated for consistent flavor.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
Do not marinate for too long to avoid the shrimp becoming mushy.
Preheat the grill to medium heat.
Medium heat prevents the shrimp from overcooking.
Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Use tongs to handle the shrimp gently and avoid tearing.
Serve the grilled shrimp immediately with your favorite sides.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro for a fresh touch.
