Garlic Lime Marinade

Garlic Lime Marinade, easy & quick via CourtneyPrice.com

Here is a quick and easy marinade recipe that I especially love for shrimp. You will only want to marinade it for about 30 minutes, which makes this a good weeknight option.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley if you prefer)
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    In a bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers, if desired, to make grilling easier.
    Grill the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and slightly charred. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.

    Once grilled, remove the shrimp from the skewers and serve immediately. You can garnish with extra chopped cilantro and lime wedges for an added burst of flavor.

This is one of my favorite winter menu staples because it’s indulgent and so easy.   The recipe that I am sharing today was inspired by an old Lee Bailey recipe, which was likely inspired by a Brennan recipe, making it New Orleans GOOD. The marinade gives the lamb the right about of seasoning, complimenting the lamb’s flavor perfectly.  My favorite part about serving this for company is that the work is 95% on the prep end, [Read more…] about Broiled Lamb Chops
