- ½ cup fresh orange juice (from about 2 oranges)
- 1 tbsp orange zest (from about 1 orange)
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, coconut aminos, melted coconut oil, fresh ginger, garlic, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and sea salt until combined. Reserve 3 tablespoons of this marinade in a small saucepan and set aside for the glaze — do this before adding the shrimp.

Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade in the bowl (or transfer to a large zip-top bag), toss to coat, and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Do not marinate longer than 1 hour, as the citrus will begin to break down the shrimp's texture.
