Shrimp Paulista

I had a version of this a few weeks ago at my friend Willow's house for dinner--so delicious! Here is my recreation--I glanced at the recipe she used, but didn't get the amounts exact. This version is excellent, too!

Mix in a bowl:
juice 2 limes
4 cloves garlic pressed
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

add:
1 lb. shrimp peeled and deveined (i buy the frozen kind that are already peeled from trader joes and defrost under running water.)

Marinate for 30 minutes---any longer and the shrimp gets tough.

Heat a skillet to high heat. Dump entire contents--shrimp and marinade into the pan. Saute until shrimp is no longer pink. Serve over couscous or rice.
