Chili Lime Shrimp

Sorry - no picture - we ate it too fast!

This is a Weight Watcher's 5 Ingredient Recipe, and it tasted fabulous. Even my toddler could not stop eating it. The only problem is that it wasn't enough for two adults. Which, I guess makes sense since it's Weight Watchers. They probably assume you eat a tiny bowlful of stuff if you're trying to lose weight. So, double it. :)

Chili Lime Shrimp

3/4 C green onions (basically one bunch of green onions chopped up)
1 - 1/2 lbs peeled and deveined shrimp (we bought the pre-cooked frozen kind)
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 Tab lime juice (we used lemon, but lime would be even better)
2 Tab butter
1/2 teas salt

Spray your pan with cooking spray and set on medium heat. I used a wok. Cook green onions for about a minute. Add shrimp (thawed if you're doing it our way) and sprinkle chili powder on them. Cook a few minutes until hot through, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, add the juice, butter and salt and stir. Serve with pasta, rice, bread...something else to fill you up. It would also have been amazing as a shrimp taco filling.
