Tonight's Dinner: Lime-Cilantro Shrimp

Shrimp and rice may sound like a bland and boring meal, but sauté them with a little lime juice and some cilantro and you've got a delightfully tangy dinner that will impress both family and guests alike. Some people believe cilantro can only be found at your local farmer's market. But turns out there are bunches of the tangy herb right in the produce section next to the lettuce, which makes this recipe all the more appealing when you're tight on time.
