Garlic Lime Shrimp

Light and easy to prepare, this is a great dish for a warm summer night. If you can't bear the thought of turning on your stove, grill these up on the BBQ and make a marinade out of the seasoning. This is great as the star of your meal, but can also play a great supporting role to grilled chicken or steaks.
