🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 for serving lime wedges

📝 Instructions

7 steps

1. Prepare the shrimp by ensuring it’s peeled and deveined. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, orange zest, lime zest, orange juice, lime juice, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.

3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

4. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

5. Once hot, add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until it begins to turn pink, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Shrimp is done when it’s opaque and slightly charred on the edges.

6. Remove the shrimp from the pan and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

7. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, salad, or crusty bread.
