Sauteed Garlic-Pepper Shrimp and Leeks

The other night, I was in the mood for something other than chicken, turkey and pork, so I decided to spice up my dinner with some seafood! Since it was just me, I was looking for a simple recipe to make in under 30 minutes. This recipe takes about 15 minutes and is SUPER easy to throw together.  I love shrimp and with the 8 oz of meat protein needed on IP, its a versatile food to add to any meal, or have as a meal itself.  I already had 4 oz of protein earlier in the day ( I know some clinics state this is fine, and other state you must have all at dinner: do what YOU want-- I have lost weight just fine by splitting my protein throughout the day) so I decided shrimp would be the perfect protein to have in a hurry and satisfy my hunger pains! 

Recipe:

                                                       1 T. minced garlic
                                                       2 leeks sliced (meat only; save greens for stock another day)
                                                       4 oz. peeled uncooked shrimp 
                                                        Squeeze 1/2  of sliced fresh lemon
                                                        1/2 t. IP sea salt (or hawaiian sea-salt if you have it)
                                                         1/4 t. fresh cracked black peppercorn
                                                         1 T. EVOO
                
 Directions:

  Heat skillet on stove at “medium” temperature. Let warm for 1-2 minutes. Add EVOO, garlic and leeks. Sauté garlic and leeks in oil until they become golden brown in color.  Next, add shrimp with sea salt and pepper. Cover for 1-2 minutes. Shake pan vigorously for 20 seconds. Remove lid, and flip shrimp. Cover for 1-2 minutes. Shake pan vigorously. Squeeze fresh lemon.  Turn heat to low. Continue to saute, until shrimp is lightly pink, and firm to the touch.  Serve with fresh veggies for a complete IP dinner ( I used local organic string beans, delicious)  and enjoy!
