{Healthy Dinner Ideas} Garlic Lime Shrimp and Chicken

By Kira O’Donnell

 

This garlic lime shrimp and chicken recipe is packed with flavor and super easy to prepare. You can also get creative with the choice of meat. You can add in some scallops, steak tips, just use chicken, etc. I bet this marinade would also be awesome with skewers of choice meat on the grill!
