Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh orange juice , (about 2 oranges)
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice , (about 3 lemons)
- 5 garlic cloves , minced or pressed
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion , (or shallot)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- freshly ground black pepper and kosher salt
- 3 pounds medium shrimp , peeled and deveined
- 1 medium orange , cut into wedges or slices
- 1 medium lemon , cut into wedges
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, garlic, onion, 2 teaspoons of the parsley, and pinch of red pepper flakes. Pour the mixture into a large skillet set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, cover, and cook until they turn pink, about 5 minutes.
- Top with the remaining parsley and serve with orange and lemon slices on the side.
Notes
- Fresh Gulf shrimp is a luxury for some of us landlocked folks, so I use frozen shrimp here instead. But if you can find fresh gulf shrimp, especially the sweet Key West Pinks of Florida, definitely go that route instead.
- *Note that you can add the orange and lemon slices to the sauce to cook and brown slightly if desired.
