Easy Cilantro Lime Shrimp Recipe: Garlic Sautéed Perfection

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds shrimp, tails removed
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped, or to taste, divided
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 yellow onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
• 2 cups salsa
• 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 0.75 cup white wine
• 1 small red chile pepper, pureed
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon lime juice, or to taste

Instructions

1. In a bowl, gently toss the shrimp with half of the fresh cilantro to infuse them with flavor.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until it becomes translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté until lightly browned, approximately 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
3. Stir in the salsa, diced red bell pepper, white wine, red chile pepper puree, lemon juice, and lime juice into the onion mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the shrimp to the flavorful salsa mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are fully cooked through and pink, about 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining fresh cilantro and add more lemon or lime juice to taste, if desired.
