Description

A delightful and nutritious meal featuring shrimp and fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced zucchini and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  3. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the marinated shrimp. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  5. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and vegetables, tossing everything together to combine. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
