Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 6 finely minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp to the skillet, season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Sauté shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  3. Step 3: Pour in 1/4 cup fresh lime juice and 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and coat the shrimp. Cook for an additional 1 minute until the sauce slightly reduces.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with warm rice or crusty bread to soak up the mojo sauce.
