Lemon Ginger Shrimp


Ingredients:
  • Jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined, 1 pound
  • Olive oil, 4 tbsp
  • Sesame oil, 1 tsp
  • Lemon juice, 2 tbsp

Directions:
  1. Marinating the prawns: Blend olive oil, sesame oil, lemon juice, onion, garlic, ginger, cilantro, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Reserve a small amount for basting. Pour the remaining into a dish, add shrimp, and stir to coat. Cover, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
