FAQS:

What if I’m not a shrimp lover?

No worries! This marinade would make delicious chicken. However, note that the preparation may take longer than the shrimp. Prepare the marinade and marinate your chicken of choice. Then cook the marinated meat your preferred way of cooking chicken.

Does it matter if I use fresh shrimp or frozen shrimp?

Nope. Use whatever you have access to! If shrimp is frozen, thaw in a bowl of warm water and rinse with cold water. Either way, this will be a quick gluten-free and dairy-free dinner.

How do I prepare the Oven-Baked Cilantro Lime Shrimp?

Preparing shrimp is much easier than it seems. After thawing, remove and dispose the shrimp tail. Grab a pairing knife and run the sharp end along the black line either along the bottom of the shrimp or top; the location of the vein will vary depending on the type of shrimp. Afterwards, rinse again and then set shrimp on a dry towel. If shrimp is already deveined and shelled, you can skip this. I recommend rinsing shrimp to get rid of any fishy taste that may linger from the sea!
