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:
  1. Heat oil over medium heat while allowing shrimp to sit in 2 Tbs of lime and the cumin.
  2. Once the oil is ready, add the shrimp, garlic, cilantro, and basil.
  3. Stir fry and add the last of the lime.
  4. 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.
