After the long holiday weekend, most people are either reenergized or flat-out tired. I ended up in the flat-out tired column and that’s why I needed a simple dish for dinner that was filling and super easy to make.

You all know I love cooking with my cast iron skillet. Another filling and flavorful dish you should try is my Creamy Skillet Swiss Chard and Chickpeas with Crunchy Breadcrumbs. It’s a great vegetarian dish that is nothing but pure comfort.

I love that cooking this shrimp in a cast iron skillet gives it a nice lightly crusted texture along with great flavor. That’s what you’ll get outta this Simple Skillet Shrimp Salad with Lime Vinaigrette.

Thank goodness for simple salad dishes that are lighter, but still filling. The seasoned shrimp added a tasty touch of protein to keep me full and to help re-energize me!

Over the weekend I picked up some fabulous seasoning at Penzeys: Arizona Dreaming seasoning. This seasoning is salt-free and includes ancho chili pepper, black pepper, onion, garlic, paprika, spices, cumin, citric acid, Mexican oregano, cilantro, lemon peel, chipotle pepper, red pepper, jalapeño, cocoa, and natural smoke flavoring.

I love the seasoning and I love Penzeys. The company gave away this seasoning as one of its many promotions, this one in honor of the late Senator John McCain of Arizona.

When I say this shrimp dish is so simple and easy to put together, I mean it! Especially when you have a great seasoning on hand for the shrimp. If not, you can easily make your own by tossing together some of your favorite spices.

The lime vinaigrette can be made in about two minutes, and you might even be able to make it with your eyes closed (but please don’t). The lime goes really well with the shrimp and avocado.
