Here is the Simply Recipes update for djuwettoo.fish@blogger.com There are 2 new posts in "Simply Recipes" Cilantro Lime Shrimp
One of the things I love about shrimp is that it cooks up so quickly on the stovetop, perfect when you have hot weather and you don't want to use the oven, or have the stove going too long. Case in point, this cilantro lime shrimp. If you have shrimp fresh and ready to go, it takes 10 or 15 minutes to cook, tops. If you are starting with frozen shrimp, maybe you have to add another 10 minutes to defrost it. Cilantro and lime are one of those master combinations, which works well with steak, chicken, fish, and especially shrimp. Start with few slices of serrano chiles and garlic in a little oil in a hot pan. Toss in the shrimp, stir a little, cook a little, and when the shrimp are pink, turn off the heat and add the cilantro and lime. That's it! Couldn't be easier, and now you have a perfect little light meal. I like to wrap mine in a heated tortilla. So good! Continue reading "Cilantro Lime Shrimp" »
