Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh oregano, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, fresh oregano, parsley, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Add the shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the shrimp and marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour, but no longer than 2 hours to prevent the acid from 'cooking' the shrimp.
Once marinated, remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Your shrimp are now ready to be grilled, pan-seared, or baked according to your preference.
