Chili-Lime Shrimp

I love shrimp because there are so many different flavor combinations you can cook with them. They are also a tasty low calorie protein option and they cook super fast. This was another successful dish with shrimp. The butter mixed in at the end gives the dish a taste of richness. I added a bit of water to the final mix to make for some extra sauce to serve over the rice. I enjoyed this meal and look forward to making it again.
