Sriracha Lime Grilled Shrimp
**Sriracha Lime Grilled Shrimp** These shrimp are marinated in a flavorful sriracha and lime sauce before being grilled to perfection. They are juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Serve these shrimp over rice, noodles, or salad for a quick and easy meal.
I've always been a fan of grilled shrimp, but I wanted to find a way to make them even more flavorful. One day, I was experimenting with different marinades when I came up with the idea of using sriracha and lime. The result was amazing! The shrimp were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. I've been making these shrimp ever since, and they're always a hit with my friends and family. The key to this recipe is the marinade. The sriracha and lime give the shrimp a wonderful flavor, and the olive oil helps to keep them moist during grilling. I also add a bit of garlic, paprika, and cumin to the marinade for extra flavor. Once the shrimp have marinated, they are grilled over medium-high heat. This helps to caramelize the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside juicy. I like to grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque. These shrimp are so versatile. They can be served over rice, noodles, or salad. They can also be used in tacos or burritos. No matter how you serve them, these shrimp are sure to be a hit.
