Give these clean eating garlic lime shrimp a try for dinner tonight!
For me, there’s seafood, and then there’s shrimp. Aside from salmon, shrimp is my absolute favorite seafood. I can eat them non-stop in just about any dish and never get tired of them.
So it’s not unusual for me to find creative ways of preparing them. I’ve sautéed them, barbecued them, put them in tacos and dipped them in sauce. But my favorite way is typically just to warm pre-cooked shrimp in a pan with some spices and a small touch of olive oil. Delish every time, and so versatile. The spicy possibilities are endless!
Here’s one I tried recently. It’s uncomplicated and very, very tasty. Enjoy!

Sure!
I had a salad and some veggies. But you could pair it with rice/veggies or even use it as a topper for pasta.
I make this all the time, and with a few variations too! I adore shrimps. I can eat them forever too and not get tired.
I love spicy shrimp wrapped in bacon and grilled.
JulieAnne – I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Yum! Hope you enjoy it!
Sure. Just adjust the cooking time.
I loved this. Had it for supper tonight and paired it with brown rice and grilled romaine….
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there a specific amount of cilantro and, it say’s “garnish” but I am throwing it in the pan with everything else.
Chris – Depends on how strong of a flavor you want. I’d say, start off with 1-2 tbsp. of chopped fresh cilantro if you are cooking it. But really, the flavor works better if you sprinkle it on fresh after cooking.
This is my new favorite shrimp recipe! I serve it with a side of homemade guacamole. Nutritious & delicious!
Robyn – Wonderful! Guacamole sounds like the perfect side! 🙂
I love Shrimp too, so much so i run out of ideas for sides, would love some of you ideas.
rosie,
Rosie – Depends on how you prepare the shrimp of course, but brown rice and a salad are always a standard.
recently i had a health scare and realized i had to get blood pressure under control. Medication is only part of the equation. I needed to start eating better. And clean eating is impotent to me and my family. Its really hard to break the processed food habit. But having this blogg and all the people recipes and encouragement is a god send.
rosie,
Rosie – Thank you so much! I promise, it gets easier. Any new routine is difficult to adjust to. But given enough time, you’ll become a pro. 🙂
I’m on a low sodium diet and wondering where all the sodium in the recipe comes from? I want to try this but can’t with that sodium content
Rod – It comes from the shrimp. Shrimp are naturally high in sodium.
Tried this today. Me n my husband love it! Paired the shrimps with some shiitake and broccoli.
Fina – I’m so happy you both enjoyed it! 😀
