Ingredients:
🍤 35 shrimps (shell on and deveined)
🧂 1 tsp of salt
⚪ 1 tsp of white pepper
🧄 2 tsp of garlic powder
🧅 2 tsp of onion powder
🌶️ 2 tbsp of Jugo Maggi Hot & Spicy
🍅 8 tbsp of Salsa Valentina
🍊 1 orange (juiced)
🍋 2 limes (juiced)
🧈 4 tbsp of melted butter
Instructions:
- Prep the Shrimp:
Begin by deveining and rinsing the shrimp. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. - Marinate:
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Jugo Maggi Hot & Spicy, and Salsa Valentina. Pour in the freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, then add the melted butter. Mix everything thoroughly to ensure the shrimp are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for enhanced flavor. - Prepare the Skewers:
Once marinated, thread 4 shrimps onto each skewer, reserving any leftover marinade for basting. - Grill the Shrimp:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the skewers occasionally and brush them with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and flavorful. - Serve:
Remove the skewers from the grill and serve the shrimp hot. They make a perfect topping for rice or a flavorful filling for tacos. Enjoy!
Cooking Tips:
- For an extra smoky flavor, consider grilling over a charcoal flame.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
