It’s actually been a little while since I pinned something that looked delicious and then made it for dinner the same week! This Honey Lime Shrimp was so easy to throw together on a busy weeknight and it’s even low calorie. Yay! I just tossed all the marinade ingredients in a bag, dumped in the shrimp and let it sit in the refrigerator for thirty minutes before cooking it on the stove. We could have also cooked them on the grill, but I didn’t want the extra step of skewering the shrimp this time around. We had this with steamed rice and fresh veggies. My husband said “this is REALLY good” more than once, so I’m thinking it’s a keeper!

We have been eating more and more seafood lately and I’ve enjoyed discovering new ways to enjoy it. It’s lighter in calories than most proteins and it’s also very versatile. A good shrimp recipe like honey lime or shrimp scampi is a great way to round out your weekly menu. I keep trying to get the boys to eat it, but secretly, I’m OK with the fact that they aren’t quite on board yet. That means more for me! 🙂
