Ingredients to make: Cilantro Lime Shrimp and Corn Slaw:

  • 16 oz Shrimp Peeled and Deveined
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro Lime Dressing Brand: Briannas Home Style
  • 1 ear Corn on the Cob
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 head of Broccoli cut into bite-size pieces (about 215 grams)
  • 1 tsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cups Coleslaw Mix
  • 1 tbsp Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • 2 Zucchini spiral sliced (about 215 grams)
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 15 Cherry Tomatoes sliced in half (about 120 grams)
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 dash of Sea Salt

Instructions:

  1. Start by placing your shrimp in a large bowl with 2 tbsp of the cilantro-lime dressing. Season with about half of the black pepper. Then allow to marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. While the shrimp is marinating, cook the corn on the cob. To do this use a grill pan if you have one, if not a regular pan will work fine. Heat the pan to medium heat. Then rub the corn on the cob with the olive oil, and place it in the hot grill pan. Pour the 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the pan. The steam from the water will help the corn to cook.
  3. Cook the corn on the cob turning every 1-2 minutes. Just long enough to give the corn some light grill marks. After 8-10 minutes the corn should be cooked. Remove the corn from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for a few minutes and then cut the corn off the cob. To do this stand the cob tall on a cutting board and run a knife between the ears of corn and the cob.
  4. While the corn is cooking, steam your broccoli for 8 minutes. To do this you will place about ½ an inch of water on the bottom of a pot. Place the broccoli in the pot and covered with a lid. Bring the water to a boil and cook covered for 8 minutes. Once the broccoli is done, drain the water from the pot and add the butter and a dash of salt to the pot. Cover with a lid and toss the broccoli in the butter to coat. Leave covered but removed from the heat. The lid will help to keep the broccoli warm while you finish cooking.
  5. In the same pan you cooked the corn in, add your shrimp and the dressing it has been soaking in. Cook the shrimp on medium heat, for about 3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes. You will know the shrimp is done when it is no longer translucent and pink on both sides.
  6. While the shrimp is cooking toss the coleslaw mix with the additional 1 tbsp of cilantro lime dressing.
  7. Once the shrimp is done, remove the shrimp from the pan. Then add the zucchini to the pan with ¼ cup water. Bring the water to a boil and toss the zucchini for 2-3 and season with black pepper. This is just enough to soften the zucchini noodles. (The noodles will not be submerged in the water.)
  8. Now it’s time to assemble. Start by tossing your coleslaw with the cooked zucchini. Then top your coleslaw & zucchini mixture with the corn and broccoli, then add your sliced cherry tomatoes, and shrimp.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Macro Adjustments:

Below outlines the items in each macro group that are easily adjustable to meet your specific macro goals.

Fat:

The fat in this recipe comes from the dressing, oil and butter. You can easily increase or decrease any of these to adjust the amount of fat in this recipe.

Carbohydrates:

The carbs in this recipe come mainly from the broccoli, and zucchini. Both are easily adjustable!

Protein:

The protein is the shrimp. The more or less shrimp you use will adjust the amount of protein without impacting any other macro within the recipe.

Meal Prep:

This is a tricky one. Many of the ingredients are cooked but a few remain cold at the time of consumption. To meal prep this recipe I would recommend storing the warm ingredients separate from the cold. Then once you have reheated the warm ingredients you can mix in the cold ingredients. This will help the crisp veggies to remain crispy. In the fridge this recipe will last up to 6 days.

Freezer Friendly:

No. Shrimp really is not that great once it has been cooked, then frozen, defrosted, and reheated. It will get a rubbery consistency.
