Garlic Lime Shrimp

Ingredients

Fresh cilantro

1/4 cup, chopped

Salt

1/2 teaspoon, or to taste

Black pepper

1/4 teaspoon, or to taste

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Lime

2, juiced

Garlic

4 cloves, minced

Shrimp

1 pound, peeled and deveined

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated in the marinade.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp along with the marinade to the skillet.
4. Cook the shrimp for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become rubbery.
5. Remove from heat and sprinkle generously with chopped cilantro before serving.
6. Serve immediately, either on their own, over a bed of fluffy rice, or in warm tortillas for shrimp tacos.
