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
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
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
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.
