LIME SHRIMP WITH ASPARAGUS
For this colorful main dish, I combine shrimp, asparagus and sweet red pepper and flavor them with lime juice, lime peel, garlic and soy sauce. It may look like it takes a long time to prepare, but it goes together fast in the microwave. -Peggy Davies Canon City, Colorado

SHRIMP AND ASPARAGUS TACOS
This recipe was a creation I made for dinner one night that for some reason just sounded good. I couldn't find a recipe that fit the bill so this is what I came up with. Everyone loved it so I figured I'd better submit it to Food.com so I'd remember how I made them. I made 3 servings with shredded cheddar cheese blend and mine with crumbled goat cheese. The goat cheese was Delicious!! If I do say so myself.
