Instructions

Combine all marinade ingredients except 1 tablespoon olive oil and the shrimp in a zip-top bag and mix thoroughly.
Add shrimp to the marinade bag, squeeze out air, seal, and turn to coat; refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, avoiding over-marination.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove shrimp from marinade, place in a single layer in the hot pan, reserving the marinade.
Cook shrimp for 1 minute per side, then an additional 2-3 minutes until done, in batches if necessary; remove and keep warm.
Add the reserved marinade to the hot pan and cook until it reduces to a thin sauce.
Return shrimp to the pan and toss in the sauce to coat.
