LIME AND DILL CHIMICHURRI SHRIMP

Chimichurri is a very popular condiment in Argentina and Uruguay and is most often used as a dipping sauce or a marinade for meats. My chimichurri shrimp version incorporates dill and lime, which give it a brighter flavor, making it ideal for spring and summer entertaining. -Bonnie Landy, Castro Valley, California
