Cilantro Lime Shrimp with a Honey Lime Dipping Sauce

Cilantro Lime Shrimp with a Honey Lime Dipping Sauce

I made this cilantro lime shrimp with a honey lime dipping sauce because I wanted a quick and easy meal for a busy weeknight. I grabbed some shrimp and marinated them in lime zest and juice, cilantro, olive oil, and garlic for an hour then had my husband grill them. I had leftover honey-lime dressing from the Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad, so I used it for a dipping sauce and it was so delicious. My whole family really loved these shrimp – we gobbled them all up. I can’t wait to try the honey-lime dressing with fish and chicken.

Soak wooden skewers in water for a few minutes. Skewer the shrimp on the wooden skewers then place it on the grill over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes on each side or until pink and juicy.
