Grilled Cilantro Lime Shrimp

A delicious, easy recipe that is a nice alternative to the usual shrimp cocktail and very quick to pull together.

INGREDIENTS
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
scant 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3-4 limes, thinly sliced, one lime cut into wedges
1 lb. extra large shrimp, I used 21-30 per lb.
bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill to medium-high.
In a bowl large enough to hold all the shrimp, combine garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin and half of the chopped cilantro. After combining ingredients, add the shrimp and toss to coat completely. With the skewers, start and end with shrimp, alternating a folded lime slice between each shrimp. (For ease of turning, you could use two parallel skewers.)

Grill the the shrimp until opaque, about 1-2 minutes per side, depending on how hot your grill is. Just before serving, top with remaining cilantro and fresh squeezed lime juice.
