Cilantro Lime Shrimp with Himalayan Salt

Paired with a zesty and spicy dipping sauce, this dish is perfect for those seeking to manage their sodium levels while indulging in a healthy, protein-rich meal.

Recipe Benefits

• This dish utilizes Himalayan salt to impart a mild saltiness directly during the cooking process, allowing for a reduction in added sodium.
• Fresh ingredients like lime, cilantro, and garlic provide vibrant flavors, making it easier to enjoy meals with reduced salt content.
• The accompanying dipping sauce has been modified to lower sodium levels using reduced-sodium soy sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Sriracha, to taste (optional)

Garlic-Lime Shrimp:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large clove garlic, smashed
• Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Juice and zest of 1 lime, divided
• 1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
• Fresh cilantro and lime wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Place a 12 x 8 Himalayan salt plate on a gas stove burner over the lowest setting. Heat for about 20 minutes, then increase the heat to medium-low and heat for 25 minutes or until the salt plate is very hot.
2. While the salt plate is heating, mix the spicy dipping sauce with rice vinegar, reduced-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh cilantro, minced garlic, and sriracha (optional) in a bowl. Whisk until well combined and set aside.
3. In a large zip-lock bag, combine the oil, smashed garlic, juice, and zest from half a lime and black pepper. Mix well, then add the shrimp. Seal the bag and mix until the shrimp is well-coated. Set aside while the salt plate continues to heat.
4. Once the salt plate is hot, use hot pads and carefully transfer it to a heat-resistant surface on your serving table. Place the shrimp evenly on the salt plate. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another minute or until the shrimp are opaque and pink.
5. Remove the shrimp from the salt plate and repeat with the remaining shrimp, if necessary. Sprinkle the shrimp with the remaining lime zest and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges and the spicy dipping sauce.
