CHILI'S SPICY GARLIC & LIME SHRIMP



Chili's Spicy Garlic & Lime Shrimp image

I have not had these shrimp at the Chili's restaurant, but have frequently made this recipe. We like to serve them as appetizers. However, they are equally as good tossed with some pasta (with or without alfredo sauce). The recipe came from Top Secret Recipes and has been a favorite at our house for quite some time.
