Skillet Lime Shrimp

July 9, 2017 by Rebecca Rosati

Skillet Lime Shrimp is flavored with garlic, cumin and lime, only takes minutes to make and is so delicious. This shrimp is perfect for tacos, salads, over spaghetti squash, or with any veggies.

Marinade Shrimp:

I like to use jumbo shrimp or medium-sized shrimp, but any size will work . Marinade the shrimp in juice of one lime, cumin, and a little bit of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. It doesn’t need to sit long and still has so much flavor.

Cook shrimp on hot skillet:

Start by heating skillet over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to your heated skillet. Add a clove or two of minced garlic and sauté the garlic for a minute. The key is to add the shrimp to your skillet when it’s very hot. This will give the shrimp a crisp outside while still cooking the inside just perfect.
