Ingredients

  • 1-2 pounds medium or large raw shrimp (see note)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2-3 juicy limes)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • ⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour mixture into a large resealable bag. 
  2. Add shrimp to the bag, press the excess air out, and seal. Chill for 15 minutes. 
  3. 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. 
  4. 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.
