Baja Tequila Lime Shrimp

An easy weeknight dinner, serve this baja tequila lime shrimp taco style with warm tortillas , over rice, tossed with pasta or over a fresh salad.

What I love about this shrimp recipe is that it is so versatile and ready to go in under 20 minutes. Shrimp is my secret weapon for a go to healthy convenience food. Fantastic when you need a crowd pleasing yet healthy and lighter protein to serve.

Here’s why:

1. Shrimp helps you beat the clock. When frozen, it’s quick to defrost.

2. Cooks in a just a few quick minutes.

3. Has just 84 calories in a three-ounce serving along with 20 grams of protein, very little fat, and it full of vitamin B-12!

4. Meets one of the two recommended weekly servings of seafood, something most of us are falling well short of getting

5. Is a versatile ingredient that can be spun in any culinary direction, the possibilities are endless.

Lastly, a few note on buying shrimp. I usually opt for the precleaned and shelled from the grocery store. It's worth the little extra as it's a tedious job other wise.
