Citrus Garlic Shrimp

Shrimp makes such a great meal!  It is high in protein, low in fat, and quick to cook!  I love this recipe for shrimp, since it takes minutes to make and can be kept in the fridge for a few days and be ready for when a quick lunch or dinner is needed.

I start with frozen shrimp that are pre-cooked, peeled and de-veined.  I usually place them in a large bowl with cold water and let them thaw in the fridge (I find the water helps take away some of the salt).

Once defrosted, I take the tails off and place them in a bowl.  To the bowl, I grate in the zest from 1 lemon and 1 lime, I then squeeze in the juice of half the lemon and half the lime.  I then add a few tablespoons of rice vinegar to the mix.

Next I chop up a handful of parsley and a close of garlic and add it to the mix.

Then, stir to combine (I like to put them in a container that has a lid and shake the works together).  I let them sit for a few hours to allow them to soak up all the great flavours -- they will last in the fridge for about 2 days or so (if they aren't gobbled up before then!).  Serve cold.   Enjoy!!
