Mojo Shrimp Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Mojo Shrimp Recipe). Cuban-inspired shrimp marinated in a mixture of orange juice, lime juice, and both zests to compensate for the hard-to-find bitter oranges. I serve it with white rice, crusty bread, a green salad, and the mojo sauce on the side for dipping.
