Dinner
Citrus Pepper Shrimp
These Citrus Pepper Shrimp are quick and easy to make, bursting with zesty flavors from lemon, lime, and orange juices for a perfect seafood dinner. Growing up, my family wasn't big on seafood, but this dish changed everything for me. The fresh citrus marinade pairs so well with the shrimp, and the quick sear locks in all that incredible flavor. Plus, if cilantro's not your thing, parsley is a great stand-in!
