Directions:

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, 1 minute. Add achiote, pepper, sugar and salt. Cook, mashing with the back of a wooden spoon, to a thick paste, 2 minutes.
  2. Pour in lime juice and grapefruit juice, thinning to a sauce.
  3. Add shrimp. Cook, tossing, until shrimp are cooked through and coated with an orange/red sauce, 4 minutes. Transfer to a shallow bowl and sprinkle with cilantro.
  4. You can eat these guys as is, over rice or dipped into guacamole (the guac is my favorite way to have these).
