08 -
1 lime, sliced into small wedges
09 -
¼ cup cilantro, chopped fine
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt in a big mixing bowl. Whisk it till everything blends together smoothly.
02 -
Put the shrimp into the bowl and gently toss so they're coated well with the marinade. Cover it up with plastic wrap and pop it into the fridge for half an hour so the flavors soak in.
03 -
Put a large skillet on medium heat. Toss the marinated shrimp, along with the marinade, into the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes each side, or until you see them turn pink and no longer translucent.
04 -
Take the pan off the heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with chopped cilantro and give it a quick stir. Move them into a serving dish and serve hot with lime wedges to squeeze over the top.
