Author: Alisa Fleming
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons coconut or olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed with the side of a knife
- 2 pounds jumbo shrimp (about 24-count per pound), peeled and deveined
- 2½ to 3 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (see Flavor Note below)
- Juice from 1 medium lemon (about 3 tablespoons) (see Flavor Note below)
- Fresh chopped parsley, to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and 2 teaspoons Old Bay, stirring to coat. Sauté for 5 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Do not overcook; you want the shrimp to still have a snap.
- Turn off the heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and stir in the remaining ½ to 1 teaspoon Old Bay, to taste.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired
Notes
Flavor Note: How much seasoning you use may depend on the saltiness of your shrimp. Feel free to adjust both the Old Bay and lemon, to taste.
Dinner Options: Cook 1½ cups dry white rice, brown rice, or quinoa or 12 to 16 ounces dry pasta for 6 servings. Add blanched asparagus or wilted spinach for complementary greens. Broccoli and bell peppers also go nicely.
