Baked Shrimp with Tomatillos

SO GOOD! A new favorite in our house. Slightly spicy and filling, but not heavy.

Adapted from Simply Recipes

Ingredients:
~2 tbsp. vegetable oil
~1 small onion, chopped
~1 cup salsa Verde (I recommend the Meijer gold brand)
~3 garlic cloves, minced
~1 lb. tomatillos, chopped
~salt
~1/4 cup water
~1 lb. shrimp, cleaned and deveined (I used frozen shrimp - just make sure you thaw and remove tails before adding to the pan)
~1 cup queso fresco cheese, crumbled
~1/4 cup chopped cilantro
~1 lime
~black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 425.
2. Heat oil over medium-high heat in an oven-proof skillet. (If you don't have one, use a regular skillet. You can transfer to a casserole dish later.) Add onion and cook until it starts to turn brown, about 5 minutes. Add salsa verde and garlic and cook one minute more.
3. Add tomatillos, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes. Sprinkle tomatillos with salt while they cook.
4. Add water, cheese, and shrimp. Bake for 10 minutes. (If using a casserole dish, transfer from skillet to dish before putting it in the oven)
5. Right before serving, mix in cilantro and sprinkle with lime juice and freshly ground pepper.
