2day's recipe: Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Here is another yummy recipe!


Cilantro Lime Shrimp   
  

The smell of the shrimp cooking will make your guests run for the kitchen! The marinade makes the shrimp spicy and delicious; serve them hot from the skillet for best results.
If you like, serve the shrimp as a main course over rice with a green vegetable or salad on the side.
Ingredients
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 large garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes (more if you like it hot)
1 pound large shrimp (about 24), uncooked, shelled and deveined

 
Instructions1. In a small bowl combine the marmalade, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk until well combined. Pour about 1/3 cup of the sauce in a separate bowl and set aside to use as a finishing sauce with the cooked shrimp.

2. Place the shrimp in a large plastic sealable bag or in a glass bowl and add the remaining sauce. Toss well so all shrimp are coated and refrigerate for 45 minutes. (If you’re in a hurry, marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.)
