Spice Up Your Life with Pepper and the Flick Chicks

AGAVE LIME CHILI SHRIMP

Pepper and the Spice Shop crew call this a Twenty-Minute Dinner, but it only takes about five minutes to prepare—give the shrimp a few minutes to marinate while you throw a salad together and slice a chewy loaf of French bread.

8 ounces cooked shrimp, tail on (roughly 16 shrimp)

2 tablespoons agave nectar or syrup

2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice

½ teaspoon chili powder

salt and black pepper, to taste

lime wedges, for serving

Place the shrimp in a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, mix the agave, lime juice, and chili powder; season with salt and black pepper to your taste. Pour mixture over the shrimp and gently toss. Allow to marinate at room temperature. Add a few lime wedges to the bowl for garnish, or create individual servings, each garnished with a lime wedge.

Serves 2 as a main course, 4–6 as an appetizer.
