Ingredient Tips For Cilantro Lime Shrimp

Shrimp: Peeled, deveined medium-sized shrimp (41/50 count) are best for this recipe. If serving as tacos, tails removed is easiest, but if serving as an appetizer or grilling, you can leave the tails on if you’d like.
Garlic: I prefer fresh but since it is cooked, jarred garlic can be used.
Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a great flavor. It can be replaced with fresh chopped Italian parsley or fresh basil.
