CHILI'S SPICY GARLIC & LIME SHRIMP



Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp image

I have not had these shrimp at the Chili's restaurant, but have frequently made this recipe. We like to serve them as appetizers. However, they are equally as good tossed with some pasta (with or without alfredo sauce). The recipe came from Top Secret Recipes and has been a favorite at our house for quite some time.

Tips for Spicy Garlic Lime Shrimp:

- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. - If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice. However, fresh limes will give your shrimp a brighter, more vibrant flavor. - Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it's cooked through. - Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, pasta, or salad.
