Zesty Thai Lemon-Lime Shrimp Recipe
Recipe By The Spruce Eats
This thai shrimp recipe features both lemon and lime flavors for the ultimate shrimp dish. And unlike most shrimp recipes, it doesn't contain a lot of cream or butter. Coconut milk is used instead, which means this dish is lighter, but still rich in flavor. Lemongrass adds to the lemony taste, while lime leaf and lime zest contribute an extra bit of zing. Makes a nice dish to serve company or anyone who loves seafood. Serve with plain or saffron rice, and enjoy
