Cilantro Lime Shrimp

This is another fabulous Weight Watchers recipe that I found over at Skinnytaste.com. Shrimp is one of my favorite "skinny" foods to cook with. It has a lot of protein, is low in calories & cooks up quickly for a fast & easy meal. I made this for dinner tonight & served it over jasmine rice along with a salad - YUM!
