Healthy Garlic Lime Shrimp with just 3 ingredients is quick and easy to make and full of flavors. Its an easy Shrimp Dinner when served with a quick and zesty pan sauce over rice.
Heat Coconut Oil in a skillet over medium high heat. As the oil shimmers, add the Shrimp and cook for 2-3 min. Cook both sides for 2-3 minutes or until it turns pink-ish. Once cooked remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 min over low heat until fragrant. Add the cooked Shrimp back to the skillet and toss to combine.
Add the Lime Juice, Red Pepper Flakes, Salt and Freshly Cracked Black Pepper to it. Toss to combine. Get it out of the skillet
Garnish with freshly chopped Parsley and serve

Notes
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.Bring the sauce to a simmer. If you want you can add a teaspoon of Maple Syrup or Honey or Fruit Sweetener to this but that optional. Just bring this to a simmer and pour over the cooked shrimp.When I serve this Garlic Lime Shrimp with some cooked White Rice, I love to add this pan juice of Soy Sauce and Water over the Shrimps. I donot 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.
