Author: Nicole
Ingredients
  • 1-1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled
  • 1 cup firmly packed mint leaves
  • 1 small lime, zested and cut into wedges for serving
Instructions
  1. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least an hour prior to using.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and transfer to a medium bowl. Season with ½ teaspoon salt. Stir to lightly coat with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil (you may not need 2 teaspoons of oil) and garlic. Set aside.
  3. Coarsely chop the ginger (you want about 2 tablespoons), then add the mint and a pinch of salt. Finely chop the ginger and mint together until well combined.
  4. Transfer to a medium bowl and mix in remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and lime zest. Stir to combine.
  5. Preheat the gas grill on high.
  6. Skewer shrimp and place on a platter.
  7. Grill shrimp on high for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You should see some blackened grill marks on shrimp.
  8. Remove shrimp from skewers and add to the bowl with ginger-mint mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently toss to coat.
  9. Serve warm with lime wedges.
