"Clean eating" Lemon Garlic Shrimp in under 10 minutes

Eating clean is something more and more people are trying to do.  Simply put, clean eating means eating foods in their natural state.  UNprocessed lean meats, whole grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables, EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), and spices.

This is my favorite shrimp recipe.  It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and cook!! 

Ingredients

1 lb frozen shrimp
2 TBSP EVOO
1 TBSP Garlic Garlic
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp pepper

Mix all ingredients in a skillet.  Cook on med-high for 6-8 minutes, depending on the size of your shrimp.  Once shrimp starts to look opaque they will be done.  Overcooking shrimp happens fast & they continue to cook in the pan when you remove from heat!  Overcooking shrimp makes them chewy & low in flavor.  Don't worry, you'll get it the more you cook shrimp.  :)

Stop cooking once shrimp starts to form a "c", they are overdone when they form an "o".

Serve with brown rice or couscous and a green vegetable.

Notes from Lanna:

•  Garlic Garlic is a Tastefully Simple standard item.  If you don't order anything else from Tastefully Simple, you should have Garlic Garlic and Onion Onion in your kitchen, it will make your life easier!!  But if you don't have Garlic Garlic, crush one to two cloves of Garlic, depending on your families taste and add to the skillet.
• The pepper I used in this picture was Tastefully Simple Green Tea Peppercorn.
