Honey Lime Shrimp

by Laura

This week is lime week hear at RMK. I tend to always lean toward the dessert side of things when doing lime week. However, I did decide to start off the week with a savory main dish for honey lime shrimp.

This is a tasty shrimp recipe that uses the sweet taste of honey paired with the cirusy tart flavor of lime. It is the perfect combination.

I also love shrimp dishes because they cook up so quickly. This one only takes a few minutes in a skillet on the stove top. Also, perfect for summer because you don’t get the kitchen hot with this quick dish. You could grill them but I prefer to have them cooked in the pan. This way you cook them with all the marinade and can use it as a sauce and serve over rice.

However, this shrimp would also be excellent on top of a salad or in a taco!

My oldest son and I are the only shrimp eaters in our house so I made it just for us. He has talked about this dish several times since having it and definitely can’t wait for the next time I make it!
