Today @ IK, we’re going light with a fresh, healthy salsa recipe.

Skinny Shrimp Salsa | Inspiration Kitchen-2493Simple, easy, low-fat, and delicious. Which frees up my time to write the lighting post you all asked for!

Skinny Shrimp Salsa | Inspiration Kitchen-2496Ok, this starts with one of my favorite go-to proteins for throwing together a quick, easy, delicious meal. Pre-cooked shrimp. You know how I love my shrimpies!

Rinse them well and set them aside.

Next, we’re going to add some fresh fruit and veggies with a pop of lime and some spice to jazz it up. You knew this post had to have kick, right?

I love fresh tomatoes, and on the vine tomatoes are one of my favorites!  So juicy, red and ripe for the picking! Look how red and plump they are!

Absolutely love the lime too. The tartness makes my mouth water!Skinny Shrimp Salsa | Inspiration Kitchen-2508

Squeezed just right.  (p.s. Have I told you today that I love my lime crusher?)

Yes, I know that it’s orange and probably an orange crusher. But go with me on this, ok? I needed something bigger because they grow the limes big around here!

Onions.  Lots and lots of those.

Then, we’ll add some cilantro.
