| Caribbean Island Lime Shrimp Recipe Prep Time: 1 hour, 30 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: | |
| 1/4 cup | olive oil |
| 1/4 cup | fresh lime juice, (about 2 limes) |
| 1/2 cup | orange juice concentrate |
| 1/8 cup | tequila, (see Note) |
| 1 Tbsp | Triple Sec or Cointreau orange liqueur |
| 1/4 cup | cilantro, chopped |
| 2 cloves | garlic, pressed |
| 1/4 cup | minced sweet onion |
| 1/2 tsp | curry powder |
| 1 tsp | kosher salt |
| 1/4 tsp | turmeric |
| 1/2 tsp | ground cumin |
| 1/4 tsp | cayenne pepper, or more to taste |
| 1/4 tsp | freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 Tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 to 1-1/2 pounds | fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on for presentation if you wish |
Preparation:
Measure 1/4 cup olive oil, lime juice, orange juice concentrate, tequila, Triple Sec, cilantro, garlic, sweet onion, curry powder, salt, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, and black pepper into a large zip-top bag. Seal and squish contents to mix. Add shrimp to marinade, squeeze out all the air, and seal. Turn bag to coat shrimp. Refrigerate for 1 hour. (Do not over-marinate or the citrus acids will "cook" the shrimp.)
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to hot pan and swirl to coat. Remove shrimp from marinade, reserving marinade, and place in a single layer in the hot pan. Cook for 1 minute, then flip the shrimp to the other side. Do not overcook the shrimp or it will become rubbery. Add the reserved marinade to the pan. Cook 1 minute, then remove shrimp and keep warm. Continue cooking the marinade until it reduces to a thin sauce. Turn off heat, return the shrimp to the pan, and toss in the sauce.
Serve Caribbean Island Lime Shrimp over white rice. This dish is also good as a room temperature appetizer for parties.
Note: If you do not normally stock tequila and/or Triple Sec at home, simply pick up the mini single serving bottles. This recipe will use about half of a mini bottle of each. If you cannot consume alcohol, simply leave them out.
