Ingredients
- 8 pieces small red potatoes
- 450 grams medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Wash the red potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the potato pieces and cook for about 8-10 minutes until they are tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the diced red and green bell peppers and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Step 5
Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp start to turn pink, then flip them over.
Step 6
Once the shrimp are almost cooked, add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Gently stir to combine all the ingredients.
Step 7
Pour the lemon juice over the mixture, then sprinkle with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure everything is coated with the seasonings.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp are fully cooked and the potatoes begin to crisp slightly.
Step 9
Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
