A Three Legged Dog and Grilled Shrimp with Lime Cilantro Marinade

My beautiful 20 month old girl has gone lame.


We have been nursing her for a pulled ACL for the past two months with the hopes that it will heal. It hasn't.

Our options are limited.

Another trip to the vet. Another discussion. Decisions. Decisions.

Grilled Shrimp with Lime and Cilantro Marinade: serves 2

1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Juice of one lime
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
pinch red pepper flakes

Skewer shrimp for grilling and place on rimmed cookie sheet or a shallow bowl. Whisk all the above ingredients together and pour over shrimp. Place in fridge for 15 minutes. (any longer and the lime juice will begin to 'cook' the shrimp).
Heat grill to medium high.
Grill shrimp 4 to 6 minutes, turning often and basting with any leftover marinade. Cook 1 minute longer after last brush with marinade.

Serve over rice with some grilled zucchini or summer squash on the side.
