Equipment

  • 1 9" x13" pan - suitable for the broiler

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds large shrimp peeled and deveined; tail left on (I use 12 - 15 count)
  • 1 cup Karen's Cuban Herbal & Garlic Mojo Marinade & Sauce

Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley & Fresh Oregano Leaves Use on or both

Instructions

  • Clean and dry shrimp, leaving the tail on.
  • Add sauce to shrimp in a single layer in a 9 " x 13" pan. Toss to combine, arrange in a single layer.
    Refrigerate covered for 30 minutes (not longer.) Remove from refrigerator while heating the broiler.
  • Preheat broiler to high; 450 - 500 degrees. Set rack 6" from heat source.
    Broil the shrimp until opaque and cooked through, and lightly blackened around the edges; 6-7 minutes for jumbo shrimp or 5-6 minutes for large shrimp.

To Serve:

  • Serve right from the pan!
    Garnish with one or both fresh herbs - serve with warm good crusty bread slices. Drizzle with some good, fruity EVOO if desired. Enjoy!
    Add some extra sauce on the side of you like.
