Cilantro Lime Shrimp

This past weekend in NC was glorious.  I'm talking mid-60's and sunny.  I even went running in shorts and a t-shirt.  With the warm, springy weather, Seth and I were craving something light, fresh and zesty.  Luckily I had just the thing pinned. 

Cilantro Lime Shrimp

1 tbs. butter (hell make it 2!)
1 tbs. olive oil
garlic, as much as you like

1/4 tsp. (or more) red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp. oregano
2 tomatoes, chopped
1 lime, zest and juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbs (or more) chopped cilantro

1. melt the butter and oil in a skillet over medium high heat
2. saute garlic, onion and jalapeno
