Shrimp Mojo Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Mojo Sauce

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, lime juice, cumin, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Shrimp

    Place the shrimp in a large bowl or resealable bag and pour the mojo sauce over the shrimp. Toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate and drizzle with any remaining mojo sauce. Serve immediately with lime wedges and extra cilantro if desired.
