Fast & Easy Cilantro Lime Shrimp
Start with some garlic in a little oil in a hot pan. Toss in the shrimp, stir a little, cook a little, and when the shrimp are pink, turn off the heat and add the cilantro and lime. That’s it! Couldn’t be easier, and now you have a perfect little light meal. Fast and easy!
Serve alone, over rice, or in a folded heated flour or corn tortilla.

You could also put this shrimp on the grill. I use a grill pan, it makes it easy to cook when I don't use skewers.
Easy Cilantro Lime Shrimp
If you are using frozen shrimp, defrost them by placing them in a bowl of ice water or cold water. Adding a little salt to the water will help the shrimp retain their briny flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp high smoke point oil such as grape seed oil, or canola oil
- 1-2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly
- 1 pound shrimp
- Salt
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1-2 Tbsp lime juice
Directions:
1 Place a large sauté pan or a wok over your strongest burner on high heat. Let the pan heat up for a minute and then add the oil. Let the oil heat until it's shimmering. If it starts to smoke, remove the pan from the heat for a moment.
2 Add the shrimp and garlic to the pan and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat with oil. Let the shrimp cook undisturbed for 1 minute before tossing again so they get a little bit of a sear. Stir-fry until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve over rice, in lettuce leaves, or in a flour or corn tortilla.
