Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Garlic Sauté

Step 1

Start by tossing the shrimp with half of the chopped cilantro in a bowl and set it aside. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the onion and cook it until it’s soft and translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Next, throw in the garlic and sauté for another minute or two until it’s nicely browned and fragrant. Stir in the salsa, diced red bell pepper, white wine, red chile pepper puree, and both the lemon and lime juice. Let everything come to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for a couple of minutes. Add the shrimp along with the cilantro mixture to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. Finish by sprinkling the rest of the cilantro on top and squeeze a little more lemon or lime juice over everything if you want a bit more brightness.
