Ingredients

1 pound frozen shrimp (I used large, uncooked frozen shrimp that contained about 36 per bag)

2 Tablespoons butter

2 cloves fresh garlic

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon adobo seasoning

fresh squeezed lime juice to taste

salt and pepper to taste

for dipping: creamy cilantro lime dressing (recipe above)

for topping: fresh express tortilla strips

Instructions

Head a large skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add butter and fresh minced garlic.

Cook until garlic is fragrant and tender. Add shrimp.

Cook shrimp until cooked on both sides, about 2-3 minutes. Add all seasonings, salt and pepper to taste, and fresh lime juice.

Optional: serve as an appetizer with the creamy cilantro dressing and tortilla strips or as a meal over rice.

Notes

If you are using frozen shrimp, be sure to defrost your shrimp in a bowl of cold water before cooking. Frozen shrimp that is not defrosted will put out a lot of excess water that can mute flavors.
