About This Recipe:
Shrimp is the perfect weeknight ingredient because it only takes a few minutes to cook, and it is pretty light and healthy. All it takes is a bit of butter, and a generous amount of garlic, lime juice, and cilantro to turn simple seared shrimp into something special. I love this shrimp over plain white rice, but it would also be delicious with pasta or a side of bread. If you are not a fan of cilantro, you could always swap it out for parsley instead.
Enjoy!
