It is time for the Secret Recipe Club again! For those who haven’t seen my previous Secret Recipe Club posts, this club includes a group of bloggers who are assigned a different blog each month and secretly make a recipe to post on their specified reveal day. I look forward to my assignment email every month and discovering new blogs. It is also fun to see what someone chooses from your blog. This will actually be my last time posting with Group D at the end of the month. Secret Recipe Club is trimming down to three groups, so I will be a part of Group C starting next month. It has been a great nearly 3 years Group D!

This month I was assigned to Lauren’s blog, From Gate to Plate (no longer active). Lauren lives in the country in Iowa. She is a certified chef and has a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and Agronomy. On the blog, she brings together her two passions: cooking and agriculture. She grew up on a 200 acre farm with a cow-calf operation and continues to share her experiences with running a farm, from the fruits and vegetables to the livestock. Her favorite foods include desserts, comfort food, and red meat. With Cinco de Mayo coming up, I decided to make her Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers.

These Margarita Grilled Shrimp Skewers are marinated for only about 30 minutes in a seasoned tequila lime sauce, then grilled until just pink on each side. Overall, it is an easy-to-assemble appetizer or main dish and perfect for the increasing temperatures outside. If you don’t want to fire up the grill, you can do what I did and place a cast iron grill pan on the stove over medium heat.

If you want to add some heat, sprinkle a little cayenne or red chili flakes into the marinade.

Serve hot with some rice and other desired sides, plus lime slices and more fresh cilantro for garnish.
