Camarones Cubanos in 3… 2… YUM! 🍋🟩
For someone who only ate shrimp maybe a handful of times in life before the last couple of years, I eat a lot of it now – typically at least weekly these days.
And, I don’t think we’ve created a shrimp dish I don’t like. But, this… THIS elevated our shrimp to a whole other level!
Marinated, sauteed, then marinade reduced to become the shrimp dip upon serving. Served with black beans.
So much yum!
Camarones Cubanos (Cuban Shrimp) Recipe

Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled | deveined | tail off
- 3 limes, zested and juiced
- 1 orange, zested and juiced
- 6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (divided)
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
Directions
- In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, zest and juice from 3 limes, zest and juice from 1 orange, 2 Tbsp minced garlic, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp ground cumin together in a glass or ceramic bowl.
- Place 1 lb peeled and deveined large shrimp into marinade and toss to evenly coat.
- Cover bowl with cling wrap and marinate in the fridge for 15 mins.
- Heat 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Transfer marinated shrimp to heated skilled, allowing excess marinade to drip off into marinade bowl, and reserving remaining marinade.
- Cook shrimp until bright pink and opaque – this took us almost 9 mins.
- Transfer cooked shrimp to a plate.
- Pour reserved marinade into still heating skillet then turn to medium-low heat.
- Simmer until sauce slightly thickens, about 5 mins.
- Serve sauce in dipping bowls alongside plated shrimp.
NOTE: Nutrition Facts below assume all dipping sauce is eaten (which isn’t typically the case in our house, but I didn’t decrease as I don’t know how much of it you’ll consume).
