Cilantro Lime Shrimp image

Cilantro Lime Shrimp is one of the easiest and quickest ways to prepare shrimp and also one of the most divine! The shrimp is tossed with fiesta seasonings before cooking and garlic cilantro lime butter after cooking so the juicy shrimp is exploding with flavor. This easy shrimp recipe can be cooked on the stove, in the oven or grilled (all instructions included) and it can be served with anything! Cilantro lime shrimp is a meal in itself with a side of veggies and rice/quinoa or instantly transforms tacos, salads, burritos, wraps, etc. (tons of ideas included) into the most epic meal ever!

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds jumbo or extra jumbo shrimp (16-21 ct) (peeled with tails left on and deveined)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, (divided)
2 tablespoons olive oil, (divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tsp EACH chili powder, ground cumin, onion powder
1/2 tsp EACH smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped ((measure before chopping))
3-4 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Add marinade ingredients to a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add shrimp and marinate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 60 minutes (no more!). Note, this is a wet rub marinade and will be thick without extra liquid.
  • Melt one tablespoon butter in one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Increase heat to medium-high. Once very hot and sizzling, add half the shrimp in a single layer and cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or just until opaque and cooked through. Transfer shrimp to a plate and repeat with remaining shrimp.
  • To the now empty skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the cilantro and lime juice and stir to combine. Add shrimp back to the skillet and stir to evenly coat. Taste and season with salt, pepper, cayenne and/or lime juice to taste.
