Recipe Wednesday: Cilantro Lime Shrimp Salad

Welcome to Recipe Wednesday!!

We have made some fabulous dishes over the last week and it was a tough choice for Recipe Wednesday, however I choose a salad that I made based off of the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Recipe from Skinny Taste.com. This was the most fabulous salad that I have ever made, honestly!! It was super simple and super healthy!

Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 6 oz • Points: 4 pts
Calories: 197.3 • Fat: 4.1g • Protein: 35.9 g • Carb: 2.4 g • Fiber: 0.1 g

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 lb shrimp, shelled and deviened
• 6 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime
• salt and pepper

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add oil to the pan, when hot add shrimp. Season with salt and pepper. When the shrimp is cooked on one side, about 2 minutes, turn over and add garlic. Sauté another minute or two until shrimp is cooked, careful not to overcook. Remove from heat. Squeeze lime all over shrimp and toss with cilantro.

 I paired this delicious shrimp with some romaine lettuce, diced red pepper, diced green pepper, yellow onion, roma tomatoes, and some roasted almonds.

I choose a honey lime dressing to balance out the lime and it turned out fabulous! 

1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped

1 clove garlic

1/4 cup lime juice

1/3 cup honey

1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Pour over and ENJOY!!! This was the most amazing salad ever!! Trust me :)
