Ingredients

Servings:3
  • 1 1/2 lbs Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 3 tablespoons Aji Amarillo paste
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Aji Amarillo paste, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, vegetable oil, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add the cleaned shrimp to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure every shrimp is coated in the marinade.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours to prevent the vinegar from 'cooking' the shrimp.

  4. 4

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes while the shrimp marinates to prevent burning.

  5. 5

    Thread 4 to 5 shrimp onto each skewer, piercing through both the tail and the head end so they stay flat.

  6. 6

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  7. 7

    Grill the skewers for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the shrimp are opaque and have a slight char.

  8. 8

    Remove from heat immediately and serve warm with a side of boiled potatoes or corn.
