Ingredients

Shrimp & Toppings

  • 2 lbs of Shrimp
  • Lime Juice garnish
  • Chopped Cilantro garnish

Marinade

  • ½ cup of Pineapples cubed
  • ½ cup of Onions cubed
  • 1 Orange juiced
  • 5-6 Garlic Cloves
  • ¼ cup of White Vinegar
  • 2 tbsp of Chipotle Paste
  • ¼ cup of Cilantro
  • 1 tbsp of Achiote Paste
  • 1 ½ tbsp of Ancho Chile Powder
  • 1 tbsp of Cumin
  • 1 tbsp of Pepper
  • 1 tbsp of Salt
  • 2 tbsp of Oil

Instructions

  • In a blender, add all the ingredients for the marinade and mix until thoroughly blended. Pour marinade over the top of shrimp and let sit in fridge for between 30 minutes to 1 hour. (Do not let marinade for more than 1 hour or shrimp will be too soft).
  • Using Cowboy Charcoal, fill a full chimney of coals, light and let preheat for 15 minutes. Pour coals into grill and place into one pile for direct cooking.
  • Pull shrimp out of fridge, take out of marinade & discard leftover marinade. Add shrimp to skewers and lay over hot coals for 4-5 minutes per side or until the flesh is white & no longer translucent.
  • Once done, pull shrimp off, garnish with lime juice + chopped cilantro and enjoy!
