Cilantro lime shrimp
Disclaimer: I randomly threw this together. If I did it again, I would double the recipe. I think my husband could have eaten a LOT more than this made. It was enough for the three of us to eat over rice and have a good portion.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 lb of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 Tbs lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp minced garlic (I use fresh or the kind in the jar, not dried)
- 3 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 Tbs basil
Directions:
- Heat oil over medium heat while allowing shrimp to sit in 2 Tbs of lime and the cumin.
- Once the oil is ready, add the shrimp, garlic, cilantro, and basil.
- Stir fry and add the last of the lime.
- This makes a great "sauce". It is super yummy.
I put this over brown rice because of my diet needs, but I think it would be better over noodles. I might try the brown rice noodles next time. In addition, I think I'll double the recipe and add a tiny bit of chicken broth and brown rice flour to give it a "roux" to put over the noodles. It is really a simple recipe.
