Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp

Recipe #76470 | 20 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 4 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: ms_bold

I have not had these shrimp at the Chili's restaurant, but have frequently made this recipe. We like to serve them as appetizers. However, they are equally as good tossed with some pasta (with or without alfredo sauce). The recipe came from Top Secret Recipes and has been a favorite at our house for quite some time.

    Can't say enough how wonderful this was! I served it over linguine with butter sauce and I have to admit there wasn't nearly enough shrimp - next time I will double the recipe!! Wonderful recipe, simple to make, and the perfect level of spiceness!

    There's a HUGE mistake here. This amount is only enough for half a person!!! OMG, this is wonderful. I cut the recipe in half, thinking that 12 shrimp and a huge fruit salad would be enough. No, no, no, I want more, you hear, I want more. I followed the recipe exactly as posted, EXCEPT I think I probably doubled the garlic (I'm a garlic lover). I also accidentally dumped too much thyme in the bowl. No problem. Thanks, Ms. Bold, for my new weekly "get healthy" dish. This was simple, delicious, and I just can't rave enough.

    I didn't have a lime so I used a fresh lemon instead---The taste was awsome. I tossed my flavorful shrimp with whole wheat angel hair pasta.
