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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 3
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any flavorful bits on the bottom.
Step 6
If desired, add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the shrimp with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately, either on its own or over a bed of steamed vegetables, zoodles, or brown rice for a more filling meal.
