Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds of succulent shrimp without their tails
  • A bunch of vibrant cilantro, finely chopped and divided to suit your taste
  • A quarter cup of fragrant olive oil
  • Half a yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • Five cloves of garlic, chopped to your preference
  • Two cups of zesty salsa
  • A red bell pepper, finely diced for added color
  • Three-quarters of a cup of crisp white wine
  • A small red chile pepper, blended into a puree
  • A hint of lemon juice, adjust to your liking
  • A touch of lime juice, adjust to your preference

Step 1

Combine shrimp with half of the freshly chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 2

In a skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it turns translucent, which should take around 1 to 2 minutes. Then, introduce the garlic and continue to sauté until it develops a golden brown color, usually 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Next, blend in the salsa, diced red bell pepper, a splash of white wine, a hint of red chile pepper puree, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a zing of lime juice into the onion mixture. Let the mixture come to a gentle boil. Once bubbly, lower the heat and let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 4

Introduce the shrimp into the salsa blend, ensuring they are well-coated. Cook and stir until the shrimp are thoroughly cooked, roughly 5 minutes. To finish, sprinkle the remaining cilantro on top for a burst of freshness. Feel free to brighten the flavors with an additional drizzle of lemon or lime juice according to your preference.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your zesty citrus cilantro shrimp delight in an airtight container to preserve its freshness and flavors.
  2. 2. Store the shrimp in the coldest part of your refrigerator to ensure it stays fresh for longer.
