ShiMuv Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Shrimp, vegetables, garlic, butter, lemon, and seasonings arranged beside a skillet.

How to Make It

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season with paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the broccoli, bell pepper, and zucchini until crisp-tender, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Add the remaining oil and cook the shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Lower the heat. Add butter and garlic and stir until fragrant, then return the vegetables to the skillet.
  5. Finish with lemon juice and parsley. Toss everything in the garlic butter and serve immediately.

Recipe tip: Shrimp can become rubbery when overcooked. Remove it from high heat as soon as it turns opaque and curls gently.
