Herbed Lime Shrimp

Grilled shrimp with a bright and zesty green herb and lime sauce

This is the type of cooking that makes me really excited for summer. Granted, it's always pretty summery in L.A., but grilled seafood in a fresh sauce just screams summer barbecues in the backyard. This recipe is another winner from The Sprouted Kitchen cookbook and pairs really well with the zucchini and feta couscous that I shared previously. The herbed lime sauce adds a ton of bright and zesty flavor and does double duty as a marinade and a finishing sauce at the end. It's so good that I'd suggest making extra and using it to top vegetables, chicken, or grains for the rest of the week.
