Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (large, 21-25 count)
- 0.25 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili flakes
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp lime zest
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, honey, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Remove the shrimp from the marinade, pat lightly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, and add them to the hot skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Sear the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are lightly charred. Do this in batches if necessary.
Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh cilantro, lime zest, and lemon zest for garnish.
Serve immediately with steamed rice, a fresh salad, or crusty bread to soak up the citrusy juices.
