Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds Vital Choice spot prawns or shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons Vital Choice organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Vital Choice organic extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Zest and juice 3 limes into a large bowl. Add the garlic, oil, water, salt, pepper and shrimp; toss well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat grill or oven broiler. If using metal skewers, give them a quick coat of olive oil to keep the shrimp from sticking.
  3. Remove shrimp from marinade and thread 4 or 5 onto each skewer. Grill or broil shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they turn bright pink.
  4. Cut remaining limes into wedges. Serve shrimp skewers sprinkled with chopped parsley and garnished with lime wedges.
