Cilantro Lime Shrimp

It has been a while since I’ve posted a guest post! What I am sharing today is a favorite between Paulina and I that we can eat day or night, hot or cold. It is more of a “sunny day” dish, but definitely still enjoyable in times when the sun is in dire need of showing itself.

I absolutely love this dish and am happy to say that I eat it all the time. It’s easy to make, doesn’t require a lot of ingredients and tasty!

I have just flipped to a new chapter in life by moving to San Francisco this past week. I’ll be working in a kitchen here and will be playing with local ingredients and playing with new recipes. I hope that you won’t mind a few new and exciting ingredients that I will have in future posts! The beauty of the internet, I can still contribute from a different location!

Thank you so much for reading. I hope that some of you will try out this recipe. If you do, be sure to let me know! Also, if you want to see specific recipes (appetizers, entrees, desserts), I want to hear that too. Enjoy!
