Ingredients

Scale

1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 – 3 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
1/4 cup chopped sweet onion
A pinch of red pepper flakes
Juice of 1 big orange (about 1/2 cup)
Juice of 1/2 a large lemon (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chopped fresh tomato, with juices
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning (or to taste)
8 oz. fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled, tail on
1 – 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro (or basil, mint, parsley), plus extra for garnish
Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a medium frying pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Swirl it around, then add the garlic and onion and saute until soft and translucent.
Add the pepper flakes, orange and lemon juices along with the Old Bay Seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then cook until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Stir in the tomatoes and stir and cook a couple minutes longer.
Add the shrimp (it’s ok to add them frozen!), sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper and cook until the shrimp are pink on the bottom,. Watch them closely and flip each shrimp as soon as it’s pink on the bottom. Cook until each shrimp is pink on the other side too, removing each shrimp to a serving bowl or plate as soon as it’s curled and pink.
Taste the sauce and add seasoning, salt & pepper to your liking. Serve the shrimp immediately with the sauce.
