Garlic Lemon Shrimp Recipe Skimps On Time, Not Flavor (10 Minutes, 6 Ingredients) Seafood Dinner Gluten-free Low Sugar Recipes High Protein Recipes Lunch
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. To save time, buy shrimp that is already cleaned.
Serve this easy high-protein shrimp recipe with your favorite side dishes. The lemony shrimp are delicious over rice or quinoa. This low-sodium seafood dinner is also gluten-free, and you get the health benefits of protein, the health benefits of lemon, the health benefits of garlic and the health benefits of shrimp.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee (divided)
- 1 pound raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and de-veined with tails on, if desired
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- juice of 1 large lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- a handful of chopped fresh parsley
- additional lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Here's how to make it:
- 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. (Do not overcook the shrimp or they will become tough and rubbery.)
- 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. (Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick.)
