How to Make Spicy Marinated Shrimp

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
  2. Add 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp to the bowl and gently toss to ensure they are fully coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the shrimp to fully absorb the flavors.
  4. Before serving, transfer the marinated shrimp to a serving bowl. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired and serve immediately with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
