Low Carb Chronicles: Key Lime Shrimp



I got a church cookbook for a wedding present, which is one of the best wedding gifts by the way because church ladies really know how to cook some good stuff.

This recipe is credited to Louisa Huebel.

I like key lime pie and shrimp so I was interested to see how this one would turn out.

It tasted a lot like Italian dressing, so if you like that flavor, do try this one. It did not taste like a key lime pie to me, but I might have had the wrong impression going into this one.

It is a super easy recipe. We obviously skipped the roll suggestion at the end.

5 lb raw unpeeled shrimp
1 16 oz. bottle of Italian dressing
juice and pulp of 4 limes
pepper to taste
butter to taste

Preheat oven to 450. Remove heads from shrimp (or buy some without the heads already). Place shrimp in a large baking dish. Pour dressing and lime juice over shrimp. Dot with butter and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool and serve. Everyone peels their own. Serve with garlic bread or hard rolls for "dunking."
