This Butterflied Bahian Lemon Shrimp recipe was initially an appetizer, but it would be fantastic as a dinner with Italian garlic buttered noodles, brown rice, or quinoa. I even had it the next day on salad.
I love this shrimp because it has a mild island flavour with minimal heat. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy good for you recipe.
