Jumbo Shrimp Stuffed with Cilantro and Chiles

Adjusted from: Food Network

8 jumbo shrimp (about 1 1/4 lbs)
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
2 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 t. salt
black pepper
3 cloves minced garlic
1 large jalapeno, with seeds
3 green onions, with green parts
1 c. chopped cilantro leaves
Tootpicks soaked in water

  1. Soak shrimp (shelled, deveined, and washed) in a mix of 1 T. olive oil, 1/2 t. salt and pepper, and lime juice for 30 min.
  2. Blend cilantro, onions, jalapeno, garlic, 1 T. oil, and lime juice marinade into a paste.
  3. Cut the shrimp open (enough to stuff them, but not cut all the way through) and put the paste inside. Close by using a toothpick soaked in water. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook shrimp on a dry non-stick skillet until cooked through.
