  • 1.5 pounds peeled and deveined medium shrimp, tail-on
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, crush mint leaves, sugar, and shallot together with a spoon. Add rum, 1/4 cup lime juice, and lime zest to make a flavorful marinade. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the marinade to a resealable plastic bag. Add the shrimp, ensuring they are coated well, remove any excess air, then seal the bag. Allow the shrimp to marinate at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
