Cilantro Lime Shrimp Pasta
By Preethi Mabbu
INGREDIENTS:

1½ pounds raw, deveined shrimp
Juice and zest of 2 limes
About 3/4 bunch of cilantro, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
½ teaspoon sugar
Olive oil
Pasta of your choosing

PREPARATION:

First, wash your cilantro and peel all the shrimp.  Next, chop up the cilantro, mince the garlic,

and zest and juice the limes for the marinade. Once all of that is done, place everything in a

bowl (cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice, sugar) and add a few sprinkles of salt and pepper.

Next, drizzle in about 1/3 cup of the olive oil. Once the marinade looks complete, add in the

shrimp and toss to coat. Place the bowl in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. Next, you can

 

either place the shrimp on skewers and grill them, or place the shrimp on a foil-lined sheet pan

and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until your shrimp are just pink throughout.

While the shrimp is 1) grilling or 2) roasting away, boil up some of your favorite pasta.

Drain the pasta, return it to the pan, and add in the grilled or baked shrimp. Toss the mix

around and add in some extra olive oil/butter if the pasta looks a little dry. You can also add the

remaining juices from the sheet pan the shrimp baked on. Serve pasta with fresh cilantro on

top. Enjoy!
