Recipes for quick weeknight meals are so essential when following the Paleo diet. Knowing what you can quickly whip up when you get home late from work starving, or when the kids’ soccer games go into overtime, can make the difference between staying on course or derailing via the closes drive-thru window. Especially when you know that quick meal is going to be ridiculously delicious!
This is one of my favorite quick meals: a couple of bags of broccoli slaw and some pre-cooked salad shrimp get magically transformed into this Paleo-adaptation of a take-out favorite, all in under 20 minutes. You can even use frozen shrimp, with a mere extra minute or two of cooking time. Created for The Best Paleo Recipes of 2014, I am finally sharing this recipe with you!
