Here's a recipe that I think you'll enjoy!

 

Shrimp with Corn and Citrus Cabbage Slaw

 

This wonderful salad was inspired by a shrimp taco recipe that I found it a Real Simple magazine. I made more of the corn and citrus cabbage slaw and used a lite sour cream. This great summertime meal that takes only 20 minutes!
