Cuban Mojo Shrimp
Cuban mojo marinade is a quick and easy way to prepare one of my favorite seafood items: shrimp. It’s citrusy, garlicky, and relatively healthy for you; only taking 6-7 minutes to cook. The shrimp pairs well with steamed rice and sweet fried plantains. These shrimp can also be skewered and grilled for the same amount of time as in a sauté pan.
Ingredients
- 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp tails removed; 16/20 ct
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 orange juiced
- 3 limes juiced
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
Instructions
- Mix together all of the marinade ingredients. Marinate the shrimp for 1 hour.
- Heat up 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat. Add in the shrimp in a single layer.
- Sauté the shrimp for 3-4 minutes a side, flipping only once.
