Recipe Notes For making the Best Chili Lime Shrimp:

• Don’t over cook your shrimp! They cook faster than you might think. They only need to be cooked for a couple of minutes on each side, so watch the pan closely and don’t let them curl tightly.
• Peel and devein the shrimp before you marinade them. You can alternatively buy shrimp thats’s already peeled, but give them a good rinse.
• You can use shrimp with tails off if preferred.
• Shrimp don’t need long to marinade. In fact, you don’t want to leave them for too long or the acid from the lime juice will start to cook them. Thirty minutes is plenty and don’t leave them for more than one hour.
• American chili powder is a blend of chilies, cumin, garlic powder, and herbs with a ratio of one-part cayenne to seven parts the other spices.  Chili powders sold in other parts of the world, however, are 100% chile pepper and 8X hotter than chili powder! So, use American-style chili powder to make this recipe.
• You can adjust the spiciness – Add some heat to this recipe by adding cayenne and red pepper flakes based on your spice level.
• You can use frozen shrimp for this recipe. Just make sure you thaw the shrimp completely before using.
• To quickly thaw your shrimp, transfer the shrimp to a freezer size bag and tightly seal. Add the bag to a large bowl and submerge with cold tap water; place a heavy bowl over the shrimp so it doesn’t float and stays completely submerged. Let the shrimp sit for 10-20 minutes. After 10 minutes, replace the water with new cold tap water and submerge the shrimp again. Let shrimp sit an additional 10- 20 minutes.
