Tangerine Shrimp

This dish is one of our favorites during the winter! Oranges are a great source of immune-boosting vitamin C and are the base of the marinade for this recipe. Shrimp is a great source of lean protein and may promote brain and heart health thanks to its omega-3 and antioxidant content. This dish comes together quickly so it’s perfect for a super satisfying weeknight meal!
