- 1 pound large raw deveined shrimp (approximately 35 count)
- 1 tablespoon light flavored olive oil
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¼ cup light flavored olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 large cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 teaspoons New Mexico or regular chili powder
- 1½ tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Steps
Rinse the shrimp and lay them out on a paper towel-lined tray. Pat them dry. Remove the shells, if desired.
To make the marinade, stir together the marinade ingredients. Place the shrimp in a zip-top bag and pour the marinade over the shrimp. Remove excess air and seal. Turn the bag a few times to coat all of the shrimp and then let it rest on the counter for 15 minutes.
Heat a large stainless steel pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and when it is hot, add the garlic. Sauté the garlic for 1 minute, sprinkle with the sugar and sauté about 30 seconds more. When the garlic is golden and fragrant, add the shrimp to the pan and discard any remaining marinade.
Spread the shrimp in a single layer across the pan and let it cook for 1-2 minutes, until it begins to turn color. Turn the shrimp over and cook an additional minute, just until pink. Increase the heat to high for 1 minute to slightly reduce any liquid. Remove from the pan when finished cooking.
