marinating shrimp before sautéing it on the stovetop gives the shrimp a chance to soak in a ton of flavor — and, in this case, that flavor is inspired by carne asada. Carne asada generally refers to thinly sliced beef that’s been marinated and char-grilled, but we love its spicy flavor so much that we decided to apply the aromatic marinade to plump and juicy shrimp, too.
