“Grilled Shrimp Recipe That’ll Keep You Entertained During Quarantine – A Stay-at-Home Parent’s Guide to Cilantro and Lime Heaven!”

Grilled Shrimp with Cilantro and Lime

As a stay-at-home parent, I know how important it is to find healthy, creative recipes to make for my family. One of my favorites is grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime. Not only is this recipe easy to make, but it also provides a high-protein dish that is full of flavor. It’s perfect for a busy weeknight meal or for a special occasion.

To get started, gather the ingredients: one pound of large shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and a pinch of sugar.

Next, combine the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin and sugar in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to two hours. The longer the marinade time, the more flavorful the shrimp will be!

Once you’re ready to cook your shrimp, preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully remove the shrimp from the marinade and discard any excess liquid. Grill or sauté your shrimp until they are cooked through (about 3 minutes per side). Serve immediately with extra freshly chopped cilantro and lime wedges for garnish.

My family absolutely loves grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime! It’s become a favorite dinner choice in our home because of its amazing flavor combination and its quick cook time. Plus, my kids love helping me prepare it—they get so excited about squeezing limes and chopping cilantro!

I remember when I first prepared this recipe for my family—it was during our daughter’s first birthday party. I was looking for something special to serve to our guests that would be both delicious and easy to prepare while entertaining our daughter at the same time. This grilled shrimp was a definite hit! Everyone loved it—and it was so much easier to make than I had anticipated!

If you’re looking for an easy yet flavorful meal that you can make quickly as a stay-at-home parent, this grilled shrimp with cilantro and lime recipe is definitely worth trying! Your whole family will love it!
