Recipes from Employees - Gail's Coconut-Lime Marinated Shrimp

Welcome back to Recipes from Employees, made by us for your enjoyment! 

As you might already know, we always recommend cooking with our infused olive oils, but we always hear the questions pour in afterwards:

• What do we cook? 
• Which infused olive oil goes best with this recipe? 
• Why infused olive oil? 
• Can balsamic be used in cooking?

You'll find all those answers (and more) here! You'll also get to know who came up with the recipe and feel more connected with our staff! Today, we are going to be making Gail's Coconut-Lime Marinated Shrimp! This dish is extremely versatile and great for a dinner party or even for a nice midday lunch.

For this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 2 LB of frozen, pre-cooked shrimp, thawed;
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• 1/3 cup of Persian Lime Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup of Coconut White Balsamic
• 1 tbsp of Low Sodium Soy Sauce 
• 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
• Freshly cracked black pepper

Directions:

• Mix all the ingredients (except for the shrimp!) in a sealed jar and whisk vigorously. 
• Pour the combination over your shrimp and mix thoroughly! Refrigerate for at least three hours. 

And that's it! You can serve this as an appetizer or over mixed greens as a salad. You can also switch out the balsamics and olive oils you use; our Toasted Sesame and Honey Ginger are also extremely popular for this recipe! If you try this recipe and love it enough, be sure to let us know! We would love to hear your feedback and see pictures of your meal!
