- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 Zucchini, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Instructions
Begin by prepping all ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done, and set aside. Quarter the baby potatoes and slice the red bell pepper and zucchini.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the quartered baby potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender and lightly browned.
Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring periodically until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Return the potatoes to the skillet. Stir in the shrimp, lemon juice, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Once the shrimp are cooked and the potatoes are fully tender, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the skillet.
Serve the Heart-Healthy Potato Shrimp Skillet immediately, enjoying it warm as a standalone dish or with a fresh green side salad.
