Garlic & Lime Shrimp With Spanish Rice




Hey Ladies,

I found this great recipe in last Sunday's paper and thought I'd share with you all. I love cooking quick, simple and easy meals throughout the week as I hate being in the kitchen. This meal was very simple to make and right up my alley. Plus DH loved it, so I can't complain. Enjoy!

1 1/4 lbs. uncooked large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. chopped garlic
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup of sour cream
1 to 2 tsp. hot pepper sauce
