Instructions
- In a food processor or blender add olive oil, water, green onions, cilantro, garlic, salt and lime juice. Pulse until mostly smooth. Add in sour cream and pulse until combined.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and sprinkle with the spices. Add the shrimp to the hot pan and sauté for 5-8 minutes, flipping occasionally until the shrimp are cooked through.
