Ingredients

• 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (large, 21-25 count)
• 0.25 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp paprika
• 0.5 tsp chili flakes
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 1 tsp lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic, honey, paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and let the shrimp marinate in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Remove the shrimp from the marinade, pat lightly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, and add them to the hot skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 5

Sear the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are lightly charred. Do this in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked shrimp to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh cilantro, lime zest, and lemon zest for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately with steamed rice, a fresh salad, or crusty bread to soak up the citrusy juices.
