Ingredients: 

 

  • 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted and crushed, in all
  • Zest from one lime

Method: 

Marinate the shrimp with salt, half the pepper, half the coriander, lime zest, and juice for at least 30 minutes and up to six hours.
