Cilantro Lime Shrimp with a Honey Lime Dipping Sauce
I made this cilantro lime shrimp with a honey lime dipping sauce because I wanted a quick and easy meal for a busy weeknight. I grabbed some shrimp and marinated them in lime zest and juice, cilantro, olive oil, and garlic for an hour then had my husband grill them. I had leftover honey-lime dressing from the Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad, so I used it for a dipping sauce and it was so delicious. My whole family really loved these shrimp – we gobbled them all up. I can’t wait to try the honey-lime dressing with fish and chicken.
Combine the shrimp, olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cilantro, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper together in a large zip lock bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Pour all of the dressing ingredients into a small bowl and whisk to combine. Set aside.
Soak wooden skewers in water for a few minutes. Skewer the shrimp on the wooden skewers then place it on the grill over medium heat. Cook for a few minutes on each side or until pink and juicy.
Remove skewers from the grill and serve with the honey-lime dipping sauce. Enjoy.

I’ll trade out the shrimp for tilapia (allergic) and be a happy camper!

All I can say right now is Delicious!!!!
Sadly, I am allergic to shrimp, but this looks so delicious! I like Blonde Duck’s suggestion of using tilapia instead!
This sounds really good. I have some shrimp in the freezer.
I love the idea of cilantro followed up with a honey-laced dressing. Wonderful!
We make a similar shrimp dish that also includes ginger and soy sauce and I think your dressing would go well with it.
that dipping sauce and I have a serious date with destiny! I might just drink the whole dang batch.
