Recipe Remake: Cilantro & Lime Black Bean Rice with Shrimp

Can you believe that there are people in this world who don't love and appreciate the goodness that is Cilantro? Yes, I'm shocked too. A friend of mine hates Cilantro with a passion, and is convinced that it tastes like soap. Rudest opinion ever.

Since I stayed in town for Easter, I decided that I would cook instead of eating out. Lately, I've been really uninspired to cook. Even with owning Chrissy Teigen's lovely book full of recipes, I just couldn't find the inspiration to try anything new.
I had Julia's recipe saved on Pinterest, and wanted to finally give it a shot since it seemed pretty simple to make, and didn't involve many ingredients. I'm happy to report that it turned out really good. The cilantro and lime combination really added major oomph to this dish. Take that, cilantro haters. Take that.
