Sharing is caring!

This recipe for Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers is sponsored in conjunction with #BBQWeek.  The sponsors, Rainier Foods and Intensity Academy generously provided samples to participants to aid in the creation of the #BBQWeek recipes and prize packages to give away to the readers.  However, all opinions are mine alone.

This recipe for Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers has amazing flavor thanks to the spices I used for seasoning (more about that later). This super easy grilled shrimp recipe that you can make all summer long.

One of my favorite things to fix on the grill is shrimp. There is just something about it that makes me fall in love with the flavor. My favorite recipe is 15 Minute Shrimp Tacos, however, this recipe for Margarita Grilled Shrimp is my new fave.

Recipe Ingredients

For this recipe, I used some neat spices that I got in from Rainer Foods. I wanted the shrimp to have a mild seasoned flavor because I wanted the Margarita salt and lime juice to really come through on them. You can use a little tequila in the marinade if you like that flavor, however, I do not so I left it out completely and they still tasted amazing.

Other ingredients in this recipe are olive oil, fresh jalapenos, brown sugar, sea salt, garlic, and pepper seasoning from Rainer Foods.

I use raw, peeled Jumbo-sized shrimp for this recipe. I recommend shrimp labeled “16 to 20 per pound”, also meaning that there are 16 to 20 shrimp in a pound, but if you like the smaller ones, you can use those also.

How to Grill Margarita Grilled Shrimp

Start with the marinade by adding lime juice, olive oil, and your spices to a bowl. Throw the shrimp in and allow the marinade to coat the shrimp.

Now, you can grill them or skewer them and grill them. Grill and char the shrimp until they are no longer opaque, around 3-4 minutes per side.
