Today I'm sharing one of favorite weeknight recipes with you.  It's one of those that tastes like it took a lot of time, but in reality only takes 30 minutes or less making it a perfect quick and easy dish.  I find it best to gather all of the ingredients beforehand so that I can move as quickly as possible.  The ingredients are fresh and the basil and lime juice give it that extra unexpected flavor that I find delicious.  The recipe serves four, so we always have leftovers for lunch.
