Instructions
- 1 Combine lime juice, orange juice, grapefruit juice, and lemon juice in a blender or the bowl of a food processor; add vinegar, oil, garlic, Mexican oregano, pepper flakes, and cumin. Pulse several times, then blend until garlic puréed, about 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper; pulse once more.
- 2 Pour marinade into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add shrimp, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, making sure shrimp are in a single layer. Remove shrimp from marinade and shake off excess. Reserve marinade.
- 3 Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp in a single layer; cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Shrimp are done when they are opaque, pink and white, and curled into a "C" shape. Transfer shrimp to a plate; set aside.
- 4 Pour reserved marinade into the same skillet; bring to a boil and boil until reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 6 minutes.
- 5 Serve shrimp with sauce on the side for dipping, or toss shrimp with sauce; garnish with cilantro.
