Shrimp is really not that expensive when they are on sale.
For 1 lb bag of shrimp, you can get it for $6-$7 or cheaper. They are shelled, deveined, and ready for cooking.
You can use whole peeled shrimp (no tail-on) and they are cheaper.
When you have good shrimp, all you need are some basic ingredients: garlic, honey, salt, cayenne pepper and squirts of fresh lime juice.
Serve this garlic honey lime shrimp with pasta, noodles, or cilantro lime rice.
I served it with my creamy garlic Parmesan fettuccine and dinner was delicious!

No.
I made this for dinner tonight…absolutely delicious! Even with frozen shrimp. Now I can’t wait to get some fresh shrimp to make it again. Had it it with cilantro rice. Only change I made was to use cilantro instead of parsley, because I didn’t have any. Will for sure go into my dinner rotation quite frequently! Whole family loved it.
