Sauteed Honey Lemon Shrimp
with cabbage and carrots

Active: 30 min Total: 30 min
Sauteed shrimp gets a sweet and tart touch with honey and lemon. We serve it over a bed of sauteed cabbage and carrots that we have all prepped from Monday so dinner should be quick and easy. Our vegetarian option features a lot of the same flavors with a veggie patty made from leftover butternut squash, quinoa, and beans. Yum!
