Ingredients

  • Shrimps - Peeled and Deveined
  • Garlic - Adds flavor

  • Lime Juice - Add a burst of flavor and freshness
  • Red Pepper Flakes - really zings up the flavor
  • Parsley - for freshness to the dish
  • Salt & Pepper - As per taste.

See recipe card for quantities.

How to make Garlic Lime Shrimp

cooking shrimp in a skillet

Heat Coconut Oil in a skillet. As the oil shimmers, add the Shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes (both sides).

Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.

Garlic Lime Shrimp in skillet

Add minced Garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 min or until brown and fragrant.

Add the cooked Shrimps back to the skillet. Add Lime Juice, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to it. Toss to combine.

Garnish with freshly chopped Parsley and serve!

HINT

Do not over cook the Shrimp. Cook it just for 2-3 min per side or until they turn pink-ish. Overcooking the Shrimp will make it chewy and you surely don't want that.

Use freshly squeezed Lime juice for best flavors.

Serve with rice and salad for best flavors.

Cooking Variations

  • Cheese - Made it even cheesy and delicious. Add shredded Mozzarella Cheese after the Shrimp gets cooked.
  • Cream Cheese & Parmesan - You can add Cream Cheese and Parmesan to the sauce to make it even creamy and delicious. Learn how to make Cream Cheese Parmesan Sauce.

Storage

You can store leftover cooked shrimp in an airtight container int he refrigerator. You can refrigerate this and store for 5-7 days.

You can freeze this Garlic Lime Shrimp as well. Store in an airtight container or freezer friendly bag and freeze for upto 3 months.

Serving Options

You can serve this Garlic Lime Shrimp as is when you're on a low carb high protein diet. Its a healthy Shrimp dinner which you will love.

Besides that you can serve with some Cooked Rice or Brown Rice or Cooked Quinoa

If you want to use up the pan juices, just add 1 tablespoon of Soy Sauce and 2-3 tablespoon of water to the skillet.

You can add this while cooking the Shrimp or after you've got it out of the skillet.

Bring the sauce to a simmer. If you want you can add a teaspoon of Maple Syrup or Honey or Fruit Sweetener or Coconut Sugar to this but that's optional.

Just bring this to a simmer and pour over the cooked shrimps.

I do not add any kind of sweetener as I am on a strict low carb diet. But you can if you aren't!

Its definitely a delicious addition. You will fall in love with this recipe!!
