Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1½ tsp La Cítrica seasoning
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: 1 tbsp water to loosen the pan juices

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and toss with La Cítrica and a little salt.
  2. Warm the EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until opaque and firm. Work in batches if needed.
  4. Lower the heat. If the pan looks dry, add 1 tbsp water and gently toss the shrimp in the flavored oil. Serve immediately.

What makes it different

Traditional garlic shrimp recipes often call for separate garlic, onion, herbs, pepper, and citrus. La Cítrica brings those flavors together, while EVOO carries them into every bite.

Serve it with rice, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
