Lime Shrimp Tapas


Lime Shrimp Tapas
This is a great dish with minimal effort. Our daughter Barbara suggested this recipe after being served the dish. My suggestion: it goes together fast so have all ingredients prepared and measured before beginning. I served this over rice.

Stir in shrimp and triple sec; saute for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until shrimp turns pink and sauce thickens slightly.
Sprinkle with parsley and chili flakes. Shrimp may be threaded on small wooden skewers with small lime wedges.
Serves four.
