Cilantro Lime Baked Shrimp

Life with an infant is definitely busy, especially around dinner time. Any recipe that is quick, easy and can be thrown in the oven or doesn't require much hands on time is great. This is a play on the garlicky baked shrimp dish that we loved. It's also a nice go to since we tend to have a bag of frozen shrimp in the freezer and doesn't require a trip to the store. Serve over rice with your favorite vegetable and enjoy!
