CUBAN-STYLE MOJO SHRIMP
Shrimp is one of my favorite weeknight meals, because it is so quick to prepare! The Cuban-style marinade is full of citrus flavors with a few surprises. Normally, "mojo" means a flavor based on Seville oranges, and these sour oranges can be hard to find. A bit of extra lime, some grapefruit juice, and vinegar stand in for the brightness of the missing Seville oranges in this recipe. The red pepper flakes add just a little zing, so if you like spicy foods, feel free to add more, to your taste. We like this with simple white rice and some black beans, or a side of grilled mixed veggies.

Steps:
- Pour lime, orange, grapefruit, and lemon juices into a blender or food processor. Add vinegar, oil, garlic, Mexican oregano, red pepper flakes, and cumin. Pulse several times, then blend until the garlic pieces disappear, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper and pulse one more time.
- Pour marinade into a 1-gallon resealable bag and add shrimp. Squeeze most of the air out of the bag and seal. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, with the shrimp inside the bag in a single layer. Drain and reserve marinade.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook shrimp in a single layer, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Shrimp are done when they are opaque, pink and white, and curled into a "C" shape. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Pour reserved marinade into the same skillet and bring to a boil. Boil until marinade is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 6 minutes. Pour into a small serving pitcher or sauce boat.
- Serve shrimp with sauce on the side as a dipping sauce, or toss shrimp in the sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

MOJO SHRIMP
Cuban-inspired shrimp marinated in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, and both zests to compensate for the hard-to-find bitter oranges. I serve it with white rice, crusty bread, a green salad, and the mojo sauce on the side for dipping.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH TURMERIC MOJO SAUCE
To keep shrimp tender, don't let them sit in the marinade for too long before grilling. The acid in the citrus will start to firm up and cook the flesh.

Steps:
- To make the mojo de ajo, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the garlic, olive oil and the 1/2 teaspoons salt, stir to mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is barely simmering. Reduce the heat to very low and cook at a very gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly golden (the color of light brown sugar), about 30 minutes. (The slower the cooking, the sweeter the garlic.).
- Add the lime juice and simmer, stirring, until most of the juice has evaporated or has been absorbed into the garlic, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chilies, taste and adjust the seasonings with salt. Keep the pan over low heat so the garlic will be warm when the shrimp are ready.
- In a large nonstick fry pan over medium-high heat, spoon 1 1/2 Tbs. of the oil (but not any garlic) from the mojo. Add half the shrimp to the pan, season with salt, and stir gently and continuously until the shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in half the cilantro. Scoop the shrimp into a deep serving platter and repeat with another 1 1/2 Tbs. of the oil and the remaining shrimp and cilantro. When all of the shrimp are cooked, use a slotted spoon to scoop out the warm bits of garlic and chilies from the mojo pan and scatter them over the shrimp. Serve immediately with the lime wedges alongside to squeeze over the shrimp. (You may have as much as 1/3 cup of the oil left over. Reserve for another use.) Serves 6.
