Lime and Dill Chimichurri Shrimp image

Chimichurri is a very popular condiment in Argentina and Uruguay and is most often used as a dipping sauce or a marinade for meats. My chimichurri shrimp version incorporates dill and lime, which give it a brighter flavor, making it ideal for spring and summer entertaining. -Bonnie Landy, Castro Valley, California

This recipe was a disappointment. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend this recipe to others, but I would suggest using less chili powder.
