To Make Shrimp Tacos

  • In bowl whisk together garlic, lime juice, vegetable oil, cilantro and chili powder. Add shrimp and toss to coat, marinating for 25 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat. Thread shrimp on metal skewers, disregarding marinade. Grill until opaque in color, about 2 minutes per side. Take off heat and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm while preparing the tortillas.
  • Add tortillas to grill and warm, about 1 minute per side.
  • Prepare the tacos by adding shrimp and salsa to tortilla. Serve with extra lime.

Notes

We used seedless watermelon for the recipe. You can use seeded, however make sure to pick out the black seeds before preparing the salsa.
The jalapeño is optional, but we really love the spicy bite it gives to the watermelon.
