Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the marinade, tossing to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread marinated shrimp onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer.
Step 4: Grill shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and slightly charred, brushing occasionally with leftover marinade for a glossy chili-lime glaze.
Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately with lime wedges.
