Mrs. Ruth's Orange Marmalade Glazed Shrimp

Juicy shrimp cooked in olive oil and glazed with Mrs. Ruth’s Orange Marmalade — sweet, citrusy, and on the table in under 15 minutes. Serve it over rice, toss it with pasta, or pile it onto a platter with toothpicks for an effortless appetizer. This one is a weeknight hero.

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 8 minutes | Total Time: 13 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup Mrs. Ruth’s Orange Marmalade, divided
  • ¼ cup green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add shrimp in a single layer. Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until the shrimp begin to turn pink on the bottom.
  3. Add ¼ cup of the Orange Marmalade and stir to coat. Continue cooking uncovered, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are just opaque throughout — about 2–3 more minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. Stir in the remaining ¼ cup of marmalade for a fresh burst of flavor and gloss.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook fast — pull them off the heat as soon as they’re opaque and curled into a C shape. An O shape means overcooked.
  • Add the marmalade in two stages: The first addition glazes and caramelizes; the second keeps the sauce bright and fresh.
  • Serving ideas: Serve over steamed jasmine rice, toss with linguine, or arrange on a platter with toothpicks as an appetizer.
  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha for a sweet-heat version.
