Mojo Shrimp

Last year at my best friend's bachelorette weekens away, we went to a Cuban restaurant. I ordered shrimp mojo and was absolutely enthralled! It was AMAZING! When I came home I attempted to find a recipe for it on Allrecipes.com. I found something similar and adapted it to suit my purpose. You can use this on shrimp or chicken. It can be grilled, sautes, or baked. I prefer grilling it! Serve with rice and black beans cooked with garlic, onions, bacon, and lime.

Mojo Shrimp

6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped             1 tsp dried oregano
½ c minced yellow onion                          ½ tsp ground black pepper
1 c freshly squeezed orange juice              1 tsp salt
½ c freshly squeezed lime juice                 ¼ c cilantro
½ tsp ground cumin                                  1 c olive oil
2 lb shrimp

Pulse the garlic and onion in a blender until very finely chopped. Pour in orange juice, lime juice; season with cumin, oregano, lemon-pepper, black pepper, salt, cilantro, and hot pepper sauce. Blend until thoroughly incorporated. Pour in the olive oil, and blend until smooth. Reserve ½ c mojo to drizzle on cooked shrimp. Put mojo and shrimp in bag and marinate for at least an hour. Skewer and grill OR cook on the stove in a pan.
