- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 of package of achiote paste

Make the Marinade
- Add all of the ingredients except the shrimp to a mixing bowl. Break apart the achiote paste with a fork. Whisk until the marinade is smooth.
Marinate the Shrimp
- Add shrimp and marinate for 30 minutes.
Grill the Shrimp
- Grill over medium-high heat until lightly charred. Around 2 minutes each side. Baste the shrimp with the marinade as it cooks.
NOTES
The marinade is also a sauce: Double the marinade recipe and divide it in half. Store any unused marinade (not mixed with shrimp) in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It makes an excellent sauce for shrimp and rice bowls, salads, or tacos.
