Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 4 lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine minced garlic, fresh lime juice, honey, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), ground allspice, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well combined.
Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat. Let the shrimp marinate for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and place them in the skillet in a single layer. Reserve the marinade.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until they're pink and opaque.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly and coat the shrimp in the flavorful sauce.
Remove the shrimp from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and green onions.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
