Garlic Shrimp and Vegetable Sauté recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Toss in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add all the vegetables: bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, and red onion. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the veggies are just tender but still crisp.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add soy sauce and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir everything together and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
  6. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
  7. Serve hot—great over rice, noodles, or on its own for a low-carb option!
