Video: Grilled Mojo Shrimp #GrillMaster

Sponsored by KenmoreProduced by Fox Valley Magazine.

I love to grill and shrimp is the perfect great everyday meal because it’s quick and delicious! Mojo is a delicious sauce and marinade used in Hispanic cooking. It is a delicious combination of citrus juices, tons of garlic, fresh cilantro, cumen, paprika and a little heat from jalapenos or Serrano peppers. Mojo sauce is incredibly easy to make and it will turn simple grilled shrimp into a flavor explosion that is simply delicioso! Have you tried making your own mojo?

In another mixing bowl, add the shrimp and marinate it with about half of the mojo sauce for about 15-25 minutes. Then, grill the shrimp until both sides turn that beautiful bright pink color. Once the shrimp turn pink, immediately take them off the grill.
