Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil

- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 whole lime (zested and juiced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Sprinkle the ground coriander into the skillet and stir well to combine with the ginger and garlic mixture.
Carefully add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the juice of one lime over the shrimp. Gently toss to coat.
Sprinkle the shrimp with lime zest and freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish with rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
