Recipe Notes

Too much lime can make a dish bitter so be sure to be very conservative when squeezing your lime juice over the plate. You just want a touch of lime flavor!

The recipe is great served over rice or pasta! But be careful though, because adding rice or pasta would make the recipe no longer paleo. If you want to stick to paleo, try it over zoodles, or even by itself with a good salad on the side!
