Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for added color and flavor)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set the mixture aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes on one side until they just begin to turn pink.
Flip the shrimp over and pour the lemon juice and soy sauce mixture over them. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are fully opaque and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the shrimp to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite side, such as steamed vegetables or a small portion of brown rice, for a complete healthy meal.
