Spicy Garlic And Lime Shrimp Recipes

SHRIMP IN SPICY LIME SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, sugar and salt. Place oil in a 10- or 12-inch skillet, and turn the heat to high. A minute later, add the garlic and chile flakes and cook the garlic until it just begins to brown. Immediately add the lime juice mixture all at once, and cook until it reduces by half, or even more, 3 to 5 minutes. There should be only about 1/4 cup of liquid in the skillet, and it should be syrupy.
• Add the shrimp, and cook over high heat. The shrimp will give off liquid of their own and begin to turn pink almost immediately. After about 2 minutes, stir contents of pan. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until all the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes total. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.

SPICY COCONUT AND LIME GRILLED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Combine the jalapeno, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, coconut, olive oil, and soy sauce in a food processor; blend until smooth. Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat. Cover and allow to marinate at least 2 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Thread the shrimp onto skewers, piercing each shrimp near the head and tail.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

GARLIC BUTTER SHRIMP WITH CILANTRO AND LIME

Steps:

• Pat the shrimp dry then season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Use a microplane to zest the lime and set aside. Cut the zested lime in half ready for the sauce later in the recipe.
• Add one tablespoon of the butter to a wide skillet. Save the remaining two tablespoons for later.
• Place the skillet with butter over medium heat then add the garlic and coriander. Stir the garlic around the pan until the butter melts and is bubbling; about 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp, nestling them into the pan so that they are in one layer. A few shrimp stacked on top of each other is okay. Cook until the shrimp start to turn pink, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the scallions and lime zest. Continue to cook, stirring, until the shrimp are firm and opaque throughout; another 1 to 2 minutes. Slide the skillet off of the heat.
• With the skillet off of the heat, add the cilantro, juice from the lime and the remaining two tablespoons of butter. Stir the butter around the pan so that it melts into the lime juice making the creamy butter sauce.
• Taste then season as needed with salt and pepper. Serve with extra lime wedges on the side.

4 MINUTE SPICY GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, garlic, red pepper flakes and shrimp. Season with grill seasoning or salt and pepper and cook shrimp 3 minutes or until just pink. Toss with lemon zest, juice and chopped parsley. Remove shrimp to a serving platter leaving the garlic cloves in the pan.

GARLIC HONEY LIME SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the shrimp with cold water. Drained and set aside.
• Heat up a skillet (cast-iron preferred), add the olive oil and butter. Add the garlic and saute until they turn slightly brown, stir in the shrimp. Stir and cook the shrimp a few times before adding the honey, lime juice, salt and cayenne pepper. Cook the shrimp until the honey lime sauce thickens. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

CHILI LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Add the uncooked shrimp to the marinade, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Add shrimp to a large heated pan over medium heat, and cook until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and stir in cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

CHILI LIME GRILLED SHRIMP SKEWERS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and pepper.
• Pour the shrimp in a medium bowl or into a resealable zip top bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and toss to coat. Marinate the shrimp for a minimum of 30 minutes (if using smaller shrimp, marinate for 15-20 minutes). Do not marinate longer than specified as the shrimp will cook in the acid from the lime juice like ceviche.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat. Remove the shrimp from the bowl and thread onto the skewers, about 5-6 shrimp per skewer (you can fit more if they're smaller shrimp). Sprinkle the shrimp with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
• Grill 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and nicely charred, and the tail and head come together. The shrimp cook very quickly, so keep a close eye on them to ensure that they don't overcook. Remove from heat and serve with lime wedges and cilantro leaves if desired. Enjoy!

SPICY HONEY LIME SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat skillet over MED HIGH heat. Add oil and butter. Season shrimp with salt, pepper, chili powder and cayenne.
• Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer (you may need to cook the shrimp in batches, depending on the size of your skillet). Cook, 2 minutes per side, until pink and golden brown. Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate.
• Reduce heat to MED. Whisk together sauce ingredients in a small bowl, then add to the hot skillet.
• Stir and let cook a minute or so, until bubbling. Add shrimp back to pan and stir to coat.
• Serve with lime wedges and minced cilantro if desired.
