Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro and Lime
As a stay at home parent, I often find myself searching for creative, healthy recipes that my whole family will enjoy. This grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime is one of our favorites. It’s easy to make and only requires a handful of ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry. Plus, it’s packed with flavor!

Ingredients:
• 1 pound of large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt and lime juice to form a marinade. Add the shrimp to the bowl and stir until all of the pieces are coated in marinade.
3. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes.
4. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are cooked through. Be sure to turn them halfway through cooking so they don’t burn.
5. Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and an extra squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving. Enjoy!As a stay at home parent, I understand how difficult it can be to come up with new meal ideas that everyone in your family will enjoy. This grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime has quickly become one of our favorites!

The slight smokiness that grilling adds is so flavorful and always puts a smile on my family’s faces when they see this dish as part of our dinner spread!
One summer day when I was getting ready to prepare this recipe for dinner, I had an unexpected visitor at my door – my neighbor’s son who had been visiting from out of town! He was absolutely starving after his long journey and I didn’t want him to go hungry while he waited for his parents to arrive home from work so I invited him inside and offered him some snacks while I prepared dinner for my family (and him!). As soon as he caught a whiff of the succulent shrimp cooking on the grill he exclaimed “This smells amazing! Can I have some?” Of course I said yes – after all, there was plenty for everyone – so we all sat down together at the table and enjoyed this delicious dish! It was such an unexpected surprise – but one that we will never forget!
This grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime is one of those meals that will always have a special place in my heart. Not only is it quick, easy and delicious – but it also reminds me of my unexpected visitor that summer day years ago when he enjoyed this dish as if it were his own family’s recipe! Whenever I make this dish now, I can’t help but think back fondly on that moment when he shared our table – something that would not have happened if not for this wonderful grilled shrimp recipe!

As a stay-at-home parent, I often look for ways to make dinner more special and exciting. I want to make something that’s both delicious and easy to prepare, so my family can spend more time together instead of slaving away in the kitchen. That’s why I always turn to my favorite grilled chicken recipe with orange and ginger glaze. Not only is it incredibly tasty, but it also has a great story behind it!
This recipe is a combination of two of my favorite flavors: citrus and ginger. The orange zest and juice add a bright, tangy flavor, while the ginger gives it warmth and a spicy kick. Plus, the sweet glaze really brings together all the flavors in a way that’s hard to resist!
The story behind this dish began when I was a kid. My parents would often take us camping in the summertime, and one of our favorite activities was grilling chicken over an open fire. We’d marinate the chicken in orange juice, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger before cooking it over the hot coals. The smell of that marinade wafting through the air made my mouth water every time!
Ever since then, I’ve been determined to recreate that same flavor combination in my own kitchen. After trying out several different variations, I finally settled on this recipe for grilled chicken with orange and ginger glaze. It combines all of the flavors I loved as a kid with a few modern twists that make it even tastier. It’s become a family favorite ever since!
Ingredients:
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, ginger, garlic, honey, and soy sauce until combined. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
4. Once your grill is hot enough, place the chicken breasts on the grill or grill pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through (165°F).
5. Once cooked through, brush each side with some of the marinade from the bowl (reserve some for later). Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes per side or until lightly charred on each side.
6. Transfer to a plate or platter and drizzle with remaining marinade before serving warm! Enjoy!
