Cilantro Lime Shrimp

I was one lucky girl, Jason made us dinner! He wanted seafood and I suggested shrimp, so we went with a very flavorful cilantro lime shrimp. Shrimp is a low in calories and high in protein. Not to mention this dinner was ready in less than 10 minutes. I highly recommend buying the shrimp already peeled and deveined, definitely worth the extra money. The shrimp had a fresh flavor from the cilantro. You can serve it over rice, salad, orzo or with vegetables like we did. It is a perfect quick and healthy weeknight dinner. Since we cut the recipe in half there weren't any left overs for lunch :(
