Skinny Lime Shrimp & Avocado Salad
The last recipe I brought you was quite complicated. This one is not! In fact, this is different from that recipe in just about every way possible. This isn’t a dessert laden in bacon, chocolate and booze, but instead a light lunch option low in calories and carbohydrates. Because sometimes you have to offset bourbon bacon chocolate pie with something healthy. It’s all about balance!
