Chili-Lime Shrimp Recipe

The weekends always seem to fly by, especially when there's one less hour involved. Hope everyone had a great weekend! I finally got to try this shrimp recipe that I've been dying to make, and it was seriously good. Other than the deveining of the shrimp (so glad you taught me how to do this, Mom!) it was really quick and easy. And delicious. If you like shrimp, this is a must try.

I had my shrimp over some quinoa, and it was deelicious. 

Happy Fit Club Monday! As usual, gotta work harder this week on making healthier eating choices. I somehow managed to lose a pound last week, which just goes to show me that if I step it up and eat healthier, I will see results. Wish me luck people.
