Instructions

1
Remove the heads from the shrimp and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Peel the shrimp, leaving the last tail segment intact (remove the shell). In a second bowl, mix the peeled shrimp with lemon and orange juice, add two pinches of salt, stir, and let marinate for 10 minutes.
2
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add the shrimp. Sauté for half a minute, turn them over, add ginger, finely chopped chili pepper to taste, and finely chopped garlic. Sauté for another half minute.
3
Add the juice from the shrimp heads to the bowl with the citrus juice where the shrimp were marinating.
4
Pour the marinade into the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in fresh cilantro. Serve with lime and white bread.

Tip: For an especially delicate flavor, you can finish the sauce with a drop of lemon juice. Homemade spaetzle or wide noodles, which perfectly soak up the creamy sauce, are an excellent side dish.
