Add juice of half a lime, a drizzle of evoo or avocado oil, and as much fresh cilantro as you'd like! Toss to combine and season to taste if desired.

- Transfer veggies to a bowl and deglaze the pan with the juice of half a lime. Add 1 TBSP butter to the pan.
- Once butter is bubbling, add your shrimp and spices (paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, pepper) and cook until shrimp are pink and opaque, approx 4-5 minutes. Stirring occasionally for even cooking/coating.
- Return your veggies to the pan and garnish the dish with fresh cilantro (as much or as little as you'd like!) and lime wedges.
- Serve atop a bed of leafy greens and top with your fresh strawberry salsa. Enjoy!

* Using frozen shrimp? Fabulous! Simply defrost and you're good to go. You can also choose to use tail-on or tail off depending on preference and availability. Either works great!
