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!

🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIEN 🌸~🌼~🌸 WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR ENGAGEMENT TOUR! 
~M🌼Y your day be filled with happy moments and beautiful flowers! 

I decided to create a zinnia garden this year and I am so excited to see it bloom. A few flowers started to show. I didn’t want Sully 🐶 in the garden, so I put a fence around it.  It worked for about 3 weeks. I was on stories yesterday, showing other parts of the garden and I turned around and saw Sully in my garden. I must have screamed so loud. He was stuck in there and panicking because I was. I got him out and no damage to any of the flowers. That was scary! 

We’re a fabulous group of friends sharing our love of flowers, elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went Happy Tuesday! This weekend my husband and I went cherry picking. It was so fun! We got so many cherries. I’m guessing about 9 pounds. I have no clue how two people are going to eat 9 pounds of cherries? But we will try.
🍒
I am so happy we were actually able to pick cherries. We missed out the past couple of years. The season comes up so fast and only lasts a couple of weeks. Plus it gets so busy that the traffic is awful. That’s one thing about California is the traffic is so bad here that it takes the joy out of doing things. But not this year! I got my cherries!! 
🍒
If swipe the photos, you will see the bucket of cherries and a couple cherries on the tree.

What is your favorite cherry recipe?

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷
Don’t forget that Krumpets Home Decor is having 25% off there whole site. Plus you can use my 10% off discount code on top of the sale price: PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?
