Shrimp with Lime and Ginger Marinade

This super easy marinade is perfect for summer barbecues. It's also great for a yummy lunch (the reason I made it).

In a bowl, combine:
- 3/4 of a cup of fresh or packaged lime juice
- 1 tablespoon of minced ginger
- 2 minced garlic cloves (or 2 teaspoons of pre-minced garlic)
- 2 finely chopped scallions
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro
- 1/2 of a teaspoon of salt
- 1/8 of a teaspoon of ground black pepper flakes
- 1 pinch of red pepper flakes (to taste)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons of orange marmalade

Whisk the mixture with a fork, then add
- 1/3 of a cup of olive oil

Again, whisk the mixture.

Then thaw 12 frozen shrimp in cold water. When the shrimp are thawed, put them in a Ziplock bag with about a fourth of the marinade. Let the shrimp marinate for around 20 minutes or so.

While the shrimp are marinating, drizzle a pan with olive oil, salt and pepper. Once the shrimp is ready, pour the contents of the Ziplock bag onto the pan and turn the stove on. Sauté the shrimp on both sides until they are pink and firm (you can check by poking one of them with your finger)

This recipe serves 3 people (4 shrimp per person) but there is going to be plenty of marinade left to make more. Enjoy!
