This recipe was originally from the Atkins site. It is slightly sweet with a little flame to it. I like it spooned over or, served with brown rice. White rice does nicely too. Sauteed tomatoes, onion and zucchini look attractive on the plate as well as the addition of asparagus. Hope you enjoy!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup orange juice, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (one half of a lime should do)

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined. (i used medium shrimp)
