Soy Lime Shrimp
Soy Lime Shrimp is a marinated shrimp dish where raw shrimp are coated in a mix of soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, garlic, and brown sugar before being quickly pan-cooked. This recipe highlights the balance of tangy, savory, and subtly sweet flavors with fresh aromatics. Cooking shrimp just until pink and curled maintains their tender texture and allows the glaze to shine without overpowering the natural seafood taste.
