A tasty, quick and easy shrimp recipe that's perfect in tacos or over yellow rice. Top with Mango Salsa for a bright and tropical flavor combination.
Make a dry rub by mixing Old Bay seasoning, grated garlic, kosher salt, black pepper and chopped cilantro. Place the shrimp in a plastic bag and coat the shrimp with the dry rub mix. Marinate for 30 minutes, but at least for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and coat the bottom of the skillet with olive oil. Working in batches, place the shrimp in the skillet and squeeze half a lime over the shrimp. Don’t move them so they can develop a good sear and color on the bottom side. Sear for about 2-3 minutes and flip, sear the other side for about 1-2 minutes or until they are an opaque pink and the tails are red. Remove the first batch and repeat this step with the second batch.
When the second batch is done, return the first batch back to the skillet, add the reserved cilantro and squeeze the remaining lime half. Toss together a few times in the pan and transfer to your serving platter.
Garnish with extra lime wedges and cilantro. Enjoy!
