Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb (peeled and deveined) Large shrimp
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 minced Garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 tsp (optional) Red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp (chopped, for garnish) Parsley
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any flavorful bits on the bottom.
If desired, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the shrimp with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve immediately, either on its own or over a bed of steamed vegetables, zoodles, or brown rice for a more filling meal.
