How to Make Spitfire Shrimp

  1. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil in the preheated skillet. Sauté 2 minced cloves garlic and 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Add 1 pound of shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until pink and firm. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  5. Pour the lime juice mixture into the skillet and bring to a simmer for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately over rice pilaf and with your favorite green vegetable or salad. Enjoy hot or cold!
