In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil and ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined and glossy.

Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until a rich marinade forms.

Add 1 pound of shrimp to the marinade, tossing gently to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let it marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F.

Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, placing 4-5 shrimp on each skewer.

Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn opaque.

Remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
