Cilantro Lemon Shrimp


A simple and tasty dinner, excluding the peeling and deveining of the shrimp (thanks, Jym!)

INGREDIENTS:
1.5 pounds shrimp, peeled & deveined
2 tsp brown sugar
2 T lemon juice
3 T cilantro, chopped
1 T balsamic
2 T whiskey hot sauce

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:
Heat oil over high heat. Cook shrimp in oil until done. Turn heat down to low.

Mix remaining ingredients, season with salt & pepper. Pour over shrimp, stir to coat.

Serve over rice.

  2. Hmm, the sweetness added a nice contrast to the spicy & tart. But maybe you could use something else—like fresh orange juice?
    The hot sauce has been great—we are almost out, I'm definitely going to make some more soon.
