10-Minute Garlic Lemon Shrimp Recipe Skimps On Time, Not Flavor by 30Seconds Food


10-Minute Garlic Lemon Shrimp Recipe Skimps On Time, Not Flavor

Want a quick and easy dinner that doesn't skimp on flavor? We've got one for you! "Such an incredibly gorgeous dish, while being (secretly) very, very simple and quick to prepare – we’re talking just 10 minutes, folks!" says Rachel Maser, mom of four and founder/creator of the clean eating blog Clean Food Crush®. "This recipe is buttery, lemony, perfectly seasoned and juicy! Ultra satisfying and so tasty!" 

When you de-vein shrimp, you are removing the long black vein that runs along the back of the shrimp. You could skip this step if it doesn't bother you – it's a personal preference because it's not harmful in any way. You could buy a shrimp de-veining tool, or simply run a knife along the back of the shrimp and then rinse under cold water.

Serve this easy 10-minute garlic shrimp recipe with your favorite side dishes. The lemony shrimp are delicious over rice or quinoa. This low-sodium dinner is also gluten-free.

Recipe Notes

  • Do not overcook the shrimp or they will become tough and rubbery.
  • If you don't want to serve the shrimp over a grain, try pasta.

Here's how to make it: 

  1. Melt half of the clarified butter or ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in your shrimp in a single layer and season with sea salt and pepper. Cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, or until pink, curled and opaque. Set aside on a plate and cover to keep warm.[img]
  2. In your same heated skillet add in the garlic and cook, stirring continuously for 30 seconds. Stir in the fresh lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes and remaining clarified butter/ghee. Return your shrimp into the sauce and toss with the chopped parsley.[img][img]
