Ingredients

• 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half moons
• 1 medium bell pepper, cut into strips
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Let the butter melt completely.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the zucchini, bell pepper, broccoli, and asparagus to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables with garlic and butter. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix them with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the shrimp through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dish with lemon juice and chopped parsley. Toss gently to combine.

Step 8

Serve the Keto Garlic Shrimp with Mixed Vegetables immediately, dividing evenly among four plates.
