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!
