I’ve never thought of adding steak and shrimp together but that sounds like an amazing combination! And the lime would give it a real kick!
Oh man, this recipe looks amazing! I’m a huge fan of anything cilantro and lime, so I’m definitely going to give this a try. Can’t wait to fire up the grill and enjoy this deliciousness!
I don’t normally think of limes when i think about beef. But this citrus fruit, combined with these other ingredients and shrimp, could still make for a tasty dish.
I am a strong believe in using cilantro in as many recipes as possible. It adds a beautiful freshness.
Wow, the cilantro-lime steak and shrimp recipe from this website is absolutely mouthwatering! The combination of tangy lime and fresh cilantro creates a flavor explosion that will leave your taste buds dancing with joy.

Yes, great idea!
It seems like a zesty recipe and I so want to try it. But i have been asked to avoid shrimp on health grounds. Any substitute?
You could substitute with any firm fish or just enjoy the steak.
Quite an interesting dish and it looks absolutely delicious as well! Would love to give this cilantro lime steak and shrimp a try for sure.
