Grub: Shrimp Paulista

Residents of Sao Paulo refer to themselves as Paulistas. This dish is a regional fave and super easy to make! After this, I've got a chopper on my list of things to buy for our kitchen! Never thought I'd use it so didn't register for it when we got married. I think it'll make my life a lot easier! 

Serves: 6
Ingredients: 
2 lbs. large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, divided
8 cloves garlic, minced, divided
1/2 tspn kosher salt, divided
1/2 tspn crushed red pepper, divided
2 tablespoons EVOO

Prep: 
1. Place shrimp in a medium nonreactive bowl and toss with lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro, half the garlic, 1/4 tspn salt and 1/4 tspn crushed red pepper. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for 20 minutes.
2. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, marinade and remaining garlic; cook until the shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1/4 tspn salt and 1/4 tspn red pepper. Toss to combine. 

Note: We topped it off with a bit of Sriracha (Eddie puts this on almost everything he eats) hot sauce. Organic brown rice completed the meal... absolutely delicious!
