Elevated Lime Shrimp Skewers

Yield: This recipe makes about 4 servings.

Preparation Time: 30 minutes + 30 minutes to marinate Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons cannabis-infused olive oil (adjust dosage based on your preference and tolerance)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons lime zest

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Skewers:

1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 red onion, cut into wedges

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving) Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the cannabis-infused olive oil, regular olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, honey, smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.

Next, add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the marinade and then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. Now let’s preheat the grill to medium-high heat and now let's make the skewers.

Thread the marinated shrimp, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between shrimp and vegetables. Once the grill is to temp, place the skewers on and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and the vegetables are slightly charred. Then remove from the grill and let rest for a minute. Transfer the skewers to a serving platter.

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and lime wedges and serve immediately, squeezing fresh lime juice over the skewers for an extra burst of flavor.

Dosage Note:

Adjust the amount of cannabis-infused olive oil in the marinade based on your desired potency and the strength of your cannabis oil. If you're new to cannabis-infused cooking, start with a lower dose and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the effects. Our Elevated Lime Shrimp Skewers are sure to be a hit at your next summer gathering. The bright, zesty flavors paired with the subtle cannabis infusion make for a delightful and unique dish that embodies the spirit of the season. Enjoy the sunshine, good company, and delicious food—happy grilling!

Chef's Tip: For an added layer of flavor, try grilling some fresh pineapple chunks and adding them to the skewers. The sweet and smoky pineapple complements the shrimp beautifully, making this dish even more irresistible.
