Preparation

  1. Marinade the shrimp

    45 minutes
    • In a large covered glass bowl or bag, add the shrimp and all the marinade ingredients. Mix well and let it sit for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
    Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes to enhance the bold flavors.

  2. Cooking the Mexican rice

    25 minutes While the shrimp is marinating, start the rice by bringing water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the rinsed rice, Knorr Professional Caldo de Pollo, achiote powder, oil, corn, and peas. Cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Let it rest for an additional 5-10 minutes before fluffing with a wooden spatula.

  3. Cooking the shrimp

    10 minutes
    • Heat a grill or grill pan to high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and add 3-4 to each skewer. Sear on both sides for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn opaque and pink. Work in batches if needed.
    • Serve the shrimp on top of a scoop of rice, and garnish with lime wedges, cilantro, and a drizzle of Hellmann's Spicy Mayonnaise.
