Residents of Sao Paulo call themselves Paulistas and this simple shrimp dish is a regional favorite. Traditionally, the shrimp are cooked in their shells; however, we’ve removed them to make for easier eating.
Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 15 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes
EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, divided
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1. Place shrimp in a medium nonreactive bowl and toss with lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, half the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

This dish is my new favorite. It's very easy to make, and the flavors are absolutely wonderful. If you're out of limes, lemons work well, too.

Awesome and simple. I made it with shrimp and chicken as well; served it with some couscous and steamed green beans. Everyone in the family was happy. :-)

This is one of my favorite shrimp dishes, and it's always a hit at parties & potlucks.

We love this recipe! I alter it for my husband with tempeh because he doesn't like shrimp, but the rest of us love it with shrimp.
