Shrimp Paulista

Posted in by blkris | Edit
This is a great recipe I found a long time ago on AOL Food.
I love it because it is quick, easy, and FULL OF FLAVOR.  I serve it on top of brown rice and with a green salad.  Enjoy!

Serves 6; ready in 35 min.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
  • 8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, divided
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1. Place shrimp in a medium nonreactive bowl and toss with lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, half the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, marinade and remaining garlic; cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper. Toss to combine.
