camarones al mojo

Camarones al Mojo de Ajo or Mexican Style Garlic Shrimp is one of my favorite Mexican dishes. For this Mexican garlic shrimp recipe, juicy, tender shrimp are tossed in a sauce with loads of garlic, Mexican spices, lime juice, and cilantro.

Camarones al Mojo de Ajo or Mexican Garlic Shrimp

olive oil (divided)

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

paprika

cumin

salt

garlic (4 of them minced and 4 of them thinly sliced)

½ red onion (thinly sliced)

shrimp

unsalted butter

limes

cilantro parsley

In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, smoked paprika or chipotle, paprika, cumin, salt, and the minced garlic. Add the shrimp and toss to coat.

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the onion and the sliced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are opaque and completely cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes.

Add the butter to the skillet and cook, stirring, just until the butter is melted and incorporated.

Just before serving, squeeze the lime juice over the top and sprinkle with the cilantro.

Serve hot.
