  • 0.25 cup fresh lime juice

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, orange juice, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the shrimp to the marinade and mix until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for maximum flavor absorption.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. While the shrimp marinates, prepare the vegetables. Thread the shrimp, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion alternately onto skewers.
  5. Once the grill is hot, place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 6-8 minutes total.
  6. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

💡 Chef's Notes
