Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add cleaned, peeled and deveined  shrimp into a bowl.
  • Add all spices and seasonings and mix well to combine. Let sit for a few minutes to marinate.
  • Add shrimp in a single layer to a hot skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until pink and the seasoning has browned and formed a slight crust. 
    You can also add shrimp to an air fryer preheated to 400°F (205°C) for 5-8 minutes, shaking intermittently to ensure that the shrimp is cooking evenly.
  • Serve with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
