Shrimp with Lime and Cilantro (and Orange Marmalade)
As per usual, here's another post about food. Shrimp, specifically. Not only is it a food post, it's a food post with a recipe. A plagiarized one, but nevermind that. Here's what you need:
1 lb. shrimp, peeled (except for the tail) and deveined
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 t. salt
juice of 3 limes
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 t. soy sauce (more if you like)
1/4 t. red pepper flakes
pepper
Mash the garlic up with the salt. Whisk it together with everything but the shrimp, then add the shrimp (actually, the recipe says to reserve a third of the mixture for dipping sauce, but I forgot and the extra sauce in the finished product was fine). Throw it all it in the fridge for 15 minutes. Then throw it in a skillet and cook for 1.5 minutes on each side (don't overdo it). Serve over brown rice. Thank me in the comments.
I'm going to go whip some more cream now. Oh, and since I'm on a whipping kick, it's only a matter of time before I make one of my favorite childhood desserts, merengues meringues.

Meringues. A dessert, not a dance!
