Garlic-Lime Shrimp Tacos

After a very busy week full of either the hubby or me being gone over dinner, it was nice to sit down and eat together.  I didn't feel like going "all out", but definitely wanted it to show I put some thought into it.  Then I remembered this dish, so simple, quick and delicious.  Just keep in mind how quickly shrimp cooks (2-3 minutes), so make sure you have all the items ready before you even put the shrimp in the skillet.


Here's what you'll need:
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (I used frozen)
1 TBSP butter
1 TBSP olive oil
juice and zest of 1 lime
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
tortillas, for serving

Combine butter and oil in medium-sized skillet.  Add shrimp and season with salt and pepper.


Add lime juice, zest and garlic.


When the shrimp turn pink, they're cooked.


Toss with cilantro and serve, immediately, in small tortillas with salsa or green taco sauce.  Serves 2.


Enjoy!
