Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb shrimp (shelled and deveined)
2 limes (juice and zest)
1 Tbsp oil
1 jalapeno (finely diced)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 green onion (finely sliced)
1 handful cilantro (chopped)
1/2 tsp cumin (toasted and ground)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 Tbsp oil

Instructions:

Marinate the shrimp in the lime, oil, jalapeno, garlic, green onion, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper for 30 minutes in a sealed container in the fridge.

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the shrimp and the marinade and cook until the shrimp is done, about 2-3 minutes per side. (The shrimp will have turned pink an no longer be translucent.)

Serves 2.
