Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

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.

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the marinade.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute lime juice with lemon juice for a different flavor profile.
  • 💡 Pair this dish with a fresh avocado salad or cilantro lime rice for a complete meal.
