Hey, seafood lovers, this baked cilantro lime shrimp is so easy to make and packed with flavors. This recipe is also great for parties. Before baking them, slide a few shrimps onto a skewer and this will definitely be a crowd pleaser.
Shrimp is a favorite among our family. We love to make this recipe on a hot summer day because of the fresh flavors of the lime and cilantro. It’s a super easy recipe and is a mess-free finger food appetizer.
This recipe holds the perfect combination of spicy and sweet. We love to enjoy this recipe on its own, and/or in a salad. If you’re looking to add some flavor and protein to your salad, toss a few of these bad boys in.
You can also throw them on the BBQ after baking if you’re a fan of grilled shrimp. We highly recommend it.
