Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 medium bell pepper, cut into strips
- 2 cups broccoli florets

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, and asparagus to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables with garlic and butter. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix them with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the shrimp through.
Sprinkle the dish with lemon juice and chopped parsley. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the Keto Garlic Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables immediately, dividing evenly among four plates.
