Spicy Shrimp Marinade¶

Adapted from allrecipes.com
Serves 4 to 6

If you want your final shrimp to have more sauce, double or triple the marinade recipe in a separate bowl and cook it down for a few minutes while the shrimp is cooking. The heat level in this dish is flexible, so adjust the amounts of the red pepper flakes and hot sauce.

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled
• 2 ½ tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
• ¼ to ¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 to 2 tablespoon hot sauce
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Whisk everything together but the shrimp. Stir in the shrimp and let marinate for 30 minutes to an hour. Cook shrimp in a skillet over medium high or skewered on a hot grill until pink, about 2 minutes a side.
