Season shrimp liberally on both sides with salt and cracked black pepper.

Grill shrimp for about 4-5 minutes per side until they turn from white to a nice pink color.

While shrimp are grilling, juice 2 limes and finely chop about 1 tablespoon of cilantro.

Add a pinch of minced jalapeño to the lime juice and cilantro mixture, adjusting the amount based on heat tolerance.

Stir the lime, cilantro, and jalapeño mixture together.

Once shrimp are done grilling, pull them off and slide them into a zip-top bag.

Pour the cilantro lime marinade into the zip-top bag with the shrimp and toss to combine.

Seal the zip-top bag, removing any extra air, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes.

Serve the chilled shrimp over a bed of baby arugula, garnishing with a lime wedge.
