I had my shrimp ready to grill and I was trying to decide, "how do I want to season it." I bought a lot so I would have leftovers to eat throughout the week on my 21 Day Fix Extreme meal plan, therefore it had to be delicious or I would be regretting it all week. Haha! Did I want southwestern? Smoky? Spicy? Nothing was sounding like what I was looking for. So I opened my 21 Day Fix Eating plan book and started looking over the lists of freebies! (items you can add to anything, in any amount and it doesn't count as a container! Yippee!). The freebie list consists of mainly seasonings (minus salt), vinegars, and fresh herbs. That's when I saw it: LIME! I always have cilantro on hand and who doesn't love garlic?
Why didn't I think of this before?!?!? This is one of my favorite flavor combinations but I had never tried on shrimp before. I decided to give it a whirl!
Ingredients:
2 lbs shrimp (1 lb would be enough for my family of 4, but I wanted extra to eat the rest of the week)
2 limes
2 handful of cilantro leaves, chopped (or more if desired)
garlic powder, pepper, and sea salt; to taste
This recipe is so simple and fast! It's a great dinner to throw together when you are short on time, but it's delicious, so even if you have all day I would still choose to make this recipe!
Simply spray the grill with olive oil, cook shrimp over medium/high heat until pink. In a bowl whisk together the juice of the limes, cilantro, and seasonings. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss! Voila!
Garlic Lime Cilantro Shrimp could easily be substituted with chicken or scallops. Yum! It can be served in tacos, on a salad, or over quinoa or rice. This recipe is also delicious with avocado! Enjoy!
This shrimp was so tasty, flavorful and versatile! How will you serve Garlic Lime Cilantro Shrimp?
