Cuban Mojo Shrimp
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 medium limes, zested and juiced
  • 1 medium orange, zested and juiced
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 pound large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and butterflied
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
1
Combine the marinade ingredients by mixing them vigorously in a glass or ceramic container.
2
Submerge the shrimp into the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
3
Take the shrimp out of the marinade, gently shaking off any remaining liquid. Set the shrimp aside and reserve the marinade.
4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn bright pink and become opaque, taking about 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate.
5
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Allow it to simmer over medium-low heat until it thickens slightly, taking around 5 to 8 minutes. Serve the sauce alongside the cooked shrimp.
