Cilantro Lime Shrimp with a Honey Lime Dipping Sauce

I wanted a quick and tasty dinner that was easy to make. I grabbed some shrimp and marinated them in lime zest and juice, cilantro, olive oil and garlic for an hour then had my husband grill them. I had leftover honey lime dressing from the Grilled Corn, Avocado and Tomato Salad, so I used it for a dipping sauce and it was so delicious. My whole family really loved these shrimp - we gobbled them all up. I can't wait to try the honey lime dressing with fish and chicken.
