    Garlic Shrimp with Lime Garlic Pasta

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Garlic Shrimp with Lime Garlic Pasta is a quick and easy meal full of flavor. Lime gives shrimp a bright citrus accent and the white wine sauce made with fresh tomatoes is perfect for serving over pasta.

    At least once a week I like to serve a quick or meatless meal. It could be my Three Peppers Pizza, Pesto Chicken Florentine, or sometimes just a protein-rich hearty quinoa salad.

    Today's meal, Garlic Shrimp with Basil, features shrimp as the protein source and is served with loads of garlic and a tangy pasta made with key limes from my yard. It's a little different but a nice change-up from the more familiar lemon pasta and comes out delicious!

    This is a great recipe to fix when you're short on time and, when served with a side salad, will be a healthy addition to your weekly meal plan.
