Cilantro Lime Shrimp & Green Beans

This is a super simple weeknight meal that turned out great! The only change I made was to use a little olive oil in the pan with the green beans. I love solid recipes like this that only call for a few ingredients and pack a lot of flavor. Of course, we really enjoy garlic, so I had a feeling this would hit the spot 🙂 My toddler really liked this, too!
