Cilantro Lime Shrimp #SundaySupper

Boiled shrimp is combined with a lime, cilantro and garlic dressing then chilled.  It’s perfect for an appetizer or to serve on top of a bed of greens for a healthy dinner salad.

Spring is here, and I’m ready to share some warm weather recipes with you.  Today it’s a shrimp recipe.  When it’s fresh, shrimp has a mild flavor and it blends well with just about any combination of ingredients you pair it with.  This blend of cilantro, lime and garlic is a refreshing blend that’s a match made in heaven for shrimp, and very possibly my new favorite.  I’ts just perfect for warm weather entertaining or simple and light dinner.

Most recipes for cilantro lime shrimp are sauteed and served hot, but I decided to let the ingredients mingle their flavors while chilling – hello warm weather food 😍.

This recipe can be made in less than 15 minutes and can be served at room temperature or left to chill for a few hours.  The most time-consuming part is cleaning the shrimp and chopping the cilantro. Here’s the recipe. . .

• Avoid over-cooking the shrimp by turning off the heat once the shrimp are added to the boiling water.  Wait a few minutes until they turn pink and feel tender, then rinse in cold water.
• Add a few stems when chopping herbs such as cilantro for a more intense flavor.
