Ingredients

  • shrimp
    1. 2 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
    2. 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    3. 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
    4. 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
    5. Freshly ground pepper

    1. 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

    3. 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
    4. 2 teaspoons honey
    5. 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
    6. Kosher salt

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with the olive oil, orange juice, garlic and a generous pinch of pepper. Cover and refrigerate the shrimp for 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the orange juice, orange zest, honey and garlic; season with salt.
