1 1/2 lbs peeled and deveined jumbo shrimp
3/8 tsp ground cumin
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp lime juice (from 1 medium lime)

Instructions

1
Season the shrimp with cumin, salt, and pepper to taste.
2
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Return the first batch of shrimp to the skillet, mix well so that the garlic is evenly incorporated, and remove the pan from the heat.

Squeeze the lime juice over all the shrimp. Add the cilantro, toss well, and serve.
