“This recipe is delicious. It has become one of my regular go-to meals for both my famiy amd when we have company. Yes it has a distinct lime flavor. . After all, it is called “Chipotle-Lime Shrimp Bake,” so no surprise there. But if the lime is too much for your taste you can just add more butter and use less lime juice. Also, I never have broccolini so I use whatever vegetables I have on hand (bell peppers, broccoli, squash) and it’s still great. Thank you for this easy yet tasty meal!” Michele, Taste of Home recipe review
