Lemon Garlic Shrimp
Lemon Garlic Shrimp is ready in less than 15 minutes and only requires a few simple ingredients! Enjoy it as your meal or serve it over salad or rice!
Meal planning is easy when you have a few favorite dishes to rotate throughout the month. Every week, I try to make at least one or two of our favorite repeat meals for dinner and then try something new during the other days of the week. A few days we eat leftovers or just grab something quick. I love adding seafood to our menu because it usually requires little prep and is cooked in a short amount of time.
Lemon and garlic are my two favorite flavors to season seafood. I always have both readily available in my kitchen and the two simple ingredients create a meal that is simple yet flavorful. You won’t even believe how quickly this meal comes together. We often eat this dish as our entire meal or serve it over a big green salad.

This was so good! Put it over zucchini noodles yum!
I make this all the time and it’s one of my favorite dishes. I prefer to make it with the tails off, so there’s a little more prep, but it’s quick enough that by the time the pasta is ready, so is the shrimp! Sometimes, I toss in some tomatoes, canned or fresh just change it up.
