Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 4 optional lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, olive oil, honey, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated shrimp to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Do not overcook.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the shrimp with freshly chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with optional lime wedges on the side for extra zest. Enjoy your Green Lime Style Shrimps!
