Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs large shrimp (I used 26/30), deveined and peeled
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/3 cup sliced then chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbsp)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/2 tsp lime zest

Directions

Prepare rice about 25 minutes before preparing shrimp as it takes 20 minutes to cook and 5 minutes resting time until it's ready.
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions and garlic and saute until garlic is light golden, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp, sprinkle cumin evenly over top, season with salt and pepper to taste and saute until shrimp is opaque and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, toss with lime juice, cilantro and lime zest. Serve warm over rice of choice
