Preparation
Shrimp marinade
- Whisk together the olive oil, honey dijon mustard, garlic, Cajun seasoning, lime zest, and salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the shrimp in a large zip-lock bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss well to coat. Seal the bag and refrigerate at least 15 to 20 minutes, or for 1 hour before cooking.
- When ready to cook, drain the marinade and discard it.
- Thread shrimp onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak skewers for at least 30 minutes in water).
- Grease grill and heat to medium high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-4 minutes on each side or until shrimp has become pink and firm being careful to not overcook.
- Transfer to a serving platter.
- Squeeze on a bit of fresh lime juice to finish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Sauce
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use. Spoon over shrimp or serve on the side for dipping.
