USWM Shopping List: 2 lbs. Wild-caught Shrimp
Sustainably harvested, chemical free, wild-caught shrimp are ready for your favorite shrimp recipe. This is a wonderful product that is hand sorted and flash frozen rapidly after harvest. This rush to the flash freezer separates this product from many others.
These Shrimp are really simple to make and are full of flavor from the marinade that they bathe in. The tart lime perfectly compliments the sweetness of the shrimp and the tequila brings in a zing you won’t want to leave out. I also find that the tequila and citrus really help in tenderizing the shrimp and makes for an awesome marinade.
Not sure what to serve this with? I love pairing this with my new Roasted Carrots with Mescal Yogurt Sauce and a big salad topped with my Spicy Almonds! Or you could even serve it over my Coconut, Cilantro, and Lime Cauliflower Rice from Meals Made Simple. Enjoy!
Also, make sure you use a 100% agave tequila. If you don’t, it most likely has fillers and added sugars; which we don’t want!
