Easy and flavorful, this Cilantro Lime Shrimp is a quick saute of shrimp in a cilantro-lime-tomato sauce with all the flavors of Mexico.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 Jalapeño finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 2 roma tomatoes chopped
- 1 lime zest and juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound Shrimp split and deveined
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Melt the butter and oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic, onion and jalapeno.
- Cook, stirring until the onion begins to wilt, approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the red pepper flakes and oregano.
- Continue cooking until the onion becomes translucent, approximately 3 additional minutes.
- Add the tomatoes.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are soft.
- Add the shrimp, zest and lime juice, salt and black pepper.
- Cook until the shrimp are just opaque. Be careful not to overcook.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raw shrimp. They'll absorb the flavors much more than frozen shrimp will.
- Cilantro should be added after everything is cooked to make sure it keeps its bright, fresh flavor.
- If you just really don't like the flavor of cilantro (and I know some people really don't!), try substituting an equal amount of freshly chopped basil.
