7 Steps/Instructions:
 

Step 1:  Soak skewers in water. Remove shell, tails and devein shrimp. Rinse thoroughly. Be sure to pat them dry. 

 

Step 2:  Combine olive oil, minced garlic, lime, salt, pepper and cumin in a bowl.  Generously coat the shrimp and let them sit while you prepare dressing.


Step 3:  Blend yogurt, adobo sauce, adobo chilis, lime juice, lime zest and salt and pepper.  Give it a taste. If too spicy, add more yogurt.

 

Step 4: Add sugar to round out tartness (if needed).  Add salt and pepper to your liking.  


Step 5:  Oil the grill in preparation for the shrimps. Skewer the shrimps, 4-5 per skewer. Be sure to leave space between the shrimps so they cook all around nicely. Add shrimps to grill and cook 2-3 minutes each side.  

 

Step 6:  In the last minute, add the buns to the grill to toast.

 

Step 7: To serve, add sauce, lettuce and shrimp to toasted bun. Top with sliced tomato, avocado and cilantro.
