Steps
🌸✨Spring is almost here, and that means it’s time to fire up the grill and celebrate the sunshine! These Margarita Grilled Shrimp are the perfect way to welcome the season—light, zesty, and packed with bold flavors. Marinated in a smoky-sweet blend of tequila, lime, and spices, these juicy shrimp are simply irresistible.
1. The night before or the morning of, combine the lime concentrate, water, and tequila in a freezer-safe container. Freeze.
2. Half an hour before you are ready to cook, combine the marinade ingredients in a blender and blitz until smooth. Toss the shrimp into the marinade and set in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, up to an hour.
3. Swap out your cooking grids for a griddle or place a cast iron frying pan onto the cooking grids and preheat your grill to high.

5. Layer the shrimp onto a platter with lime wedges and cilantro leaves.
