- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp lime zest
- 1 tsp honey (optional, for a slightly sweet balance)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Prepare the Tangy Lime Dip: While the shrimp marinates, prepare the tangy lime dip. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, honey (if using), and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner dip, you can add a little more lime juice or water. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, for extra flavor and color.
- Assemble the Shrimp Skewers: Thread the marinated shrimp onto the skewers, making sure the shrimp are evenly spaced. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Cook the Shrimp Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and lightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they cook quickly.
- Serve: Once the shrimp are cooked, remove them from the skewers and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the tangy lime dip on the side for dipping. Garnish with additional cilantro and lime wedges for extra flair.
