Instructions

Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour mixture into a large resealable bag.
Add shrimp to the bag, press the excess air out, and seal. Chill for 15 minutes.
GRILL shrimp on skewers or on a grill pan over medium heat, 3-4 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Or BAKE shrimp in a single layer on a greased sheet pan at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes until pink and cooked through.
Garnish with extra lime juice and cilantro if desired and serve.

Notes

For best and most flavorful results I recommend using peeled and de-veined shrimp, tails can be on or off.
