Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 for serving lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the shrimp by ensuring it’s peeled and deveined. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, orange zest, lime zest, orange juice, lime juice, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once hot, add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer (work in batches if necessary). Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until it begins to turn pink, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Shrimp is done when it’s opaque and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 6

Remove the shrimp from the pan and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, salad, or crusty bread.
