Directions

• Combine the clementine sections and juice, ginger, garlic, and shrimp in a bowl. Toss to coat the shrimp. Cover and set aside.

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, and reserve marinade in the bowl. Place shrimp in the hot skillet, and saute for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink.

• Remove the cooked shrimp from the pan and place on a platter covered loosely with foil to keep warm.

• Pour the reserved marinade, with orange sections, into the skillet, increase heat to high, and boil until the marinade has reduced by half, about 30 seconds.
