Garlic Lime Shrimp Salad

May 15, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 9 Comments

Hello!

Yah, yah!  Today’s recipe should go with my Cinco de Mayo week, but in my opinion I could soooooooo eat Mexican everyday, and honestly I don’t think I need a reason to bring on another Mexican dish.  However my Husband may beg to differ.  I can’t help it, I just love all of the southwest flavors, they go so well together.  Plus if I have to give an excuse as to why another Mexican dish, I will tell you I had leftover ingredients, and I didn’t want to waste them, and besides this salad is so good I had to share it with you, so there!

Garlic Lime Shrimp Salad

This is one of those quick and easy meals to, which is so perfect for a week night dinner.  I just marinated my shrimp in the morning and when I cam home, I popped it on the grill for about 4 minutes and my dinner was done, simple, tasty and easy.   How can you not love that?  The flavor of the shrimp was simply amazing, I used my McCormick Garlic Lime seasoning packet.  It’s the same one I used to make Chicken Fajitas a few months back.  My family and I just love the seasonings mix.  It’s also nice to have all pre-measured out for you too!

Garlic Lime Shrimp Salad


For the salad portion I used lettuce, tomato, cilantro  avocado and Cojita Mexican Cheese.  Yum!  For the dressing I kind of copied the seasoning on the shrimp and made a Lime Cilantro dressing to go on top.  I somehow forgot take a picture of the dressing.  I was kind of in a rush to make dinner.  You have to rush sometimes when you have a man who can be like Fred Flintstone and ask where is dinner or worse yet, are you almost done taking pictures?  lol  He’s gotten better at that!  I laugh to myself, when I say dinner is done, and he doesn’t come in the kitchen and I ask aren’t you coming?  He said aren’t you taking pictures?  I’m like nope, come eat, yippie!  I hot meal!  So sad when my dinners aren’t warm?  There are some nights I have to reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.  Speaking of my Husband and Fred Flintstone, here is his dinner plate.  Take in mind this salad is supposed to be for four, not two!

Garlic Lime Shrimp Salad

My dinner plate of course is how it should be.  Four ounces of shrimp and the rest veggies!!  I did heat up some tortillas on the grill to serve with the salad.  I wrapped some of my salad in the tortillas, and dipped the other one in the dressing.  So good!  I’m telling you, I’m writing this post late at night and now all I’m thinking about is warming a taco shell and dipping it into salsa, but I must control myself, because after I write this, I’m going to bed!

A healthy garlic and lime grilled shrimp salad topped with a cilantro lime vinaigrette dressing.
Serves: 4 salads
Ingredients
  • 1 lbs Wild Blue Shrimp, uncooked
  • 1 packet of McCormick Garlic and Lime Seasonings
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 8 cups lettuce, shredded
  • 4 small tomatoes, diced
  • ½ avocado, seeded diced
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • 2 oz Cojita Cheese
  • Cilantro Lime Dressing:
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup orange juice
  • ¼ tsp mince garlic
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
  1. Mix lime juice, orange juice, olive oil and all of the spices in a small bowl. Place shrimp in a large resealable bag, and pour in the marinade; turn to coat, well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor. I marinated mine for 8 hours.
  2. To make the dressing, add lime juice, orange juice, garlic, salt, pepper in a bowl and mix until incorporated. Stir in cilantro and whisk in olive oil. Put in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  3. Heat grill to medium heat.
  4. Meanwhile, while the grill is heating up, you can make the salad. Evenly divided lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado onto four plates; set a side.
  5. To make the shrimp: you can skew the shrimp on a skewer or just place them on the grill. Cook until no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Top 4 oz of shrimp onto prepared salad plates and top with cilantro, cheese and dressing.
  7. Optional; you can serve with tortillas on the side. If using tortillas you can lightly heat them on the grill; about 30 seconds per side.

Garlic Lime Shrimp Salad

Well my Friends, I hope you don’t mind another Mexican dish.  Sorry, I just can’t help it!  I simply love Mexican food!  Hmm, maybe I should go to Mexico for vacation and get real authentic Mexican food!  That would be an awesome vacation!!  Time to day dream!

Have a wonderful, dreamy day!

Jennifer

    Thank you for sharing. It definitely looks good. I’ve discovered one store in Berlin where I can get fresh shrimps, so I can totally use it.

    I need to get some of that seasoning! It sounds like something that I would use a lot over the summer on fish or chicken!

    Love baking with little foil packets and especially with salmon. Copper River Salmon goes pretty quick as it’s season is gone before you can blink, but Costco usually carries it. This looks sensational. Thanks!

Hello Tuesday! We’ve had some nice weather this Hello Tuesday!  We’ve had some nice weather this week. It must have hit 70 yesterday. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Next week it’s supposed to back in the 50’s with chance of rain. Well at least I won’t have to worry about watering my garden.
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my Easter tablescapes. I wanted to go simple. I feel when there’s too much on the table, you have a hard time seeing the people across from you. Plus my table is only 5’ long, so I don’t have a lot of space.
🐰
I’m loving the blues and greens. It’s such a pretty color for Spring. I had a whole blue tablescape idea in my mind, but I’m having problems finding pieces that I like. I sure miss Pier1. That was my go to place for table setting decor.
🐰
What are your favorite colors for Spring?

Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Happy March 1st! Can you believe 19 more days till Spring and 14 more days until daylight savings. Oh the pure signs of warm weather and sunshine are coming.
🌸
I sure had a busy weekend. We had 5 yards of top soil delivered and my husband wheel barreled it all to the backyard. My new garden bed is just about ready for planting. I’m so excited!
🌸
Yesterday I worked on a bunch of photos to share this week. I must have formatted over a 100 pictures. No, I won’t be sharing that many. It’s just hard to find the right one. I’m sure you know what I mean.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos for the month of February.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for March, because I have no idea. Lol
🌸
What are you looking most forward to this month?

I just need a couple of little things, like a rug and some towels. Thank you so much for your suggestions. You put bad ideas in my head, but in a good way. Lol
🌸
I’m sharing with you my floral arrangement that I shared in a reel Monday. I just love it so much. It’s going to be the centerpiece to my Spring dining table. So it’ll make an another appearance soon. If I ever finish my table.
🌸
I also have to share with you the cute bunnies that I bought from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. I love them so much. The whitewash and flowers stole my heart. I just love bunnies. I may have gone bunny crazy this season.

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?
