Grilled Spicy Lime Shrimp



INGREDIENTS:
3 Tbsp. Cajun seasoning (such as Emeril's Essence®)
2 limes, juiced
2 Tbsp .Olive Oil  ( flavored oil such as citrus or jalapeño  gives it an extra kick )
1 Tbsp. Garlic, fresh minced
1 pinch Sea Salt
1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp
Wooden skewers (soak in water while shrimp marinates)

DIRECTIONS:
Mix together the Cajun seasoning, lime juice, and olive oil and garlic in a re-sealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

 Pour shrimp into large mixing bowl.  Then spear shrimp tightly on wooden skewer and sprinkle salt lightly over shrimp.

Cook the shrimp on the preheated grill until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 2 minutes per side.

Serve with a rice dish or grilled veggies…yum
