Lemon Garlic Shrimp Dinner

Nothing harder than to motivate yourself after a long day of work to make a healthy and fun dish… We’ve all been there, we wish we could prep something super quickly and that it won’t jeopardise all the efforts we made in the gym 🙂

This dish is extremely simple and quick to make!

Prep and cooking time : 20 minutes

You will need the following ingredients :

• Shrimps (usually 5 or 6 per person is enough) – I used frozen and defrosted them during the day but you can also use fresh ones
• 1 lemon juice + 1 full lemon
• garlic powder
• parsley (fresh or dried)
• 1 cup (185g) broccolis, fresh or frozen
• a carb of your choice : rice pilaf, whole-wheat or gluten-free pasta. this time I used Isreali couscous

Recipe :

Israeli couscous :

• If you are doing an Isreali couscous like me, you will have to cook it in a pan with coconut or avocado oil for 5 minutes (until golden brown).
• After 5 minutes, add 1 and 2/3 cup (400 ml) water and let it cook on medium heat for 10 minutes.
• Let it sit while you prepare the rest…

Parsley, garlic, lemon shrimps :

• Oil your pan with avocado, coconut or canola oil
• Wait until it is really hot and drop your shrimps, let them sizzle 3 minutes per side approximately
• Once they are pink, add the broccoli and let it cook for 2 minutes (I like my broccoli almost raw, I think it tastes better and is not as mushy…)
• Add the lemon juice, the parsley and the garlic powder and let it cook for 1 more minute after you mix everything together
• Serve the shrimps on the Israeli couscous and add a few lemon slices for taste and to make it pretty and like you know what you’re doing 😉
• Add any salt and pepper (to taste) and enjoy while hot

Let me know your thoughts,
