Ingredients

• For the Shrimp Skewers:
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
• For the Cilantro Lime Rice:
• 1 cup white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Start by soaking the wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes. This will help prevent them from burning on the grill.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the shrimp are well coated.
3. Thread the seasoned shrimp onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each one.
4. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.
5. Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and fluff it with a fork. Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt. Mix well to combine.
6. Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-high heat. Place the shrimp skewers on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
7. Serve the grilled shrimp skewers over a bed of cilantro lime rice. Enjoy your delicious meal!
