JON'S SPICY CITRUS SHRIMP



Jon's Spicy Citrus Shrimp image

These shrimp are delicious and easy to prepare, look and taste very impressive. They have a nice background heat (that won't make you feel like your tongue is on fire), and the citrus flavour from tangerine, lemon and lime ties nicely with garlic and ginger. This recipe was created by my fiancee, Jon, hence the name. We serve it with toasted white rice (recipe #87090 will do the trick!) and a simple salad with balsamic vinaigrette. This recipe is broiled in the oven (due to a surplus of snow) but would also be delicious grilled. *** Prep time is mostly marinating time!***

Tips:

- **Use fresh ingredients**: This includes using fresh shrimp, citrus fruits, and herbs. Fresh ingredients will provide the best flavor and texture to your dish. - **Choose the right type of shrimp**: You can use any type of shrimp for this recipe, but I recommend using large or jumbo shrimp. These shrimp will be easier to peel and devein, and they will also hold up better to the cooking process. - **Don't overcook the shrimp**: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. - **Use a variety of citrus fruits**: This recipe calls for oranges, limes, and lemons. However, you can use any type of citrus fruit that you like. Grapefruits, tangerines, and clementines would all be great substitutes. - **Add some heat**: If you like spicy food, you can add some heat to this dish by adding some chili peppers or cayenne pepper. - **Serve immediately**: Spicy Citrus Shrimp is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the shrimp is still hot and crispy, and the flavors are at their best. ###

Conclusion:

Spicy Citrus Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with fresh shrimp, citrus fruits, and herbs, and it's cooked in a spicy, tangy sauce. Serve it over rice or pasta, or simply enjoy it on its own.
