Tropical Shrimp

Oh yes, this was wonderfully delicious! I found a recipe on Pinterest for Cilantro Lime Shrimp and adapted it and made it into something even better!

Our friends in Richmond made a very delicious fresh salsa last weekend which I incorporated into this recipe. This dinner was so good! It was very refreshing. The various flavors all blended together quite nicely and paired perfectly with the shrimp! A very yummy, healthy meal! Enjoy!
