Honey Lime Marinated Shrimp Food

HONEY LIME SHRIMP

Steps:

• In a large ziploc bag, combine all the marinade ingredients. When everything is well-combined, add the shrimp, squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag, and close it up. Place it in the fridge.
• Let the shrimp marinate for 30-60 minutes, flipping the bag around once or twice during that time, so that all the shrimp stay evenly covered in the marinade.
• When you're ready to cook, take the shrimp out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; there is no need to add any oil or butter to the pan, as the marinade has enough oil in it to keep the shrimp from sticking to the pan. (If you would prefer to use the grill for these, you can thread them onto skewers and toss them on the grill at this point.).
• Add your shrimp to the pan in a single layer, making sure they are not too crowded; you can always cook them in more than one batch.
• Let them cook on one side for about a minute, until they curl up and start to turn pink.
• Flip them over, and cook for another 30 seconds or so, until the shrimp are opaque.
• Remove from the pan, and serve immediately!

• Wine Pairing
• Description: Unoaked means that the wine has been fermented and/or aged in stainless steel tanks, allowing the pure fruit flavours of the grapes to come through. This unoaked Chardonnay has crisp fruit flavours of peach, apple, and pear. It is medium in body and has refreshing, tangy acidity.
• Pairing: This dish has many flavours sweet honey, tangy lime, and a bit of spice from chili. The wine matches perfectly because it has enough body to stand up to all of these flavours and the texture of the shrimp. The fruity flavours complement the sweet honey and cool the heat of the chili, and the acidity balances the citrusy lime flavour.
• Wine Suggestion: Try an Unoaked Chardonnay from Australia or Canada
