Ingredients

▢ 1 ½ pound jumbo shrimp (peeled and deveined)
▢ ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
▢ ½ teaspoon ground chili peppers
▢ ½ teaspoon garlic powder
▢ 1 Tablespoon lime juice
▢ 2 Tablespoons orange juice
▢ 2 Tablespoons olive oil (+ more for the griddle)
▢ Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Place shrimp in a mixing bowl and add cumin, chili pepper, and garlic.
Pour the orange and lime juice and add the olive oil. Toss to coat on all sides.
Cover the bowl and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Heat a flat griddle (plancha) over high heat. After it is smoky hot, brush the griddle with a little bit of olive oil.
Arrange the shrimp on the hot griddle and cook for 3 minutes, flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp is no longer pink and cooked through.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Choose fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp for the best taste and texture.
Let the shrimp marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb flavors.
Ensure the griddle or skillet is hot before cooking.
