Recipe: Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp and Veggies
It’s no secret that many of us lead busy lives, yet we still want to prioritize home-cooked and nutrient-dense meals. Oftentimes, this means turning to a meal we’ve made repeatedly to remove the guesswork. Eventually, this leads to burnout with a dish or even a flavor profile if it’s used too often. If being in a meal rut sounds familiar, it may be time to add a new dish into the rotation that’s easy, quick, and requires minimal clean-up as it’s all cooked on one sheet pan!
Enter in the Sheet Pan Chili-Lime Shrimp and Veggies. It’s a well-balanced meal with potatoes as the starch, multiple types of non-starchy veggies, and shrimp as the protein source, all tossed in a chili-lime sauce for a delightful burst of flavor.
