Lemon-Garlic Shrimp & Vegetables image

From the Cookbook Eating Well 500 Calorie Dinners. A refreshingly healthy twist to "Shrimp Scampi." My family loved this dish served with Quinoa. Note: the prep time can be cut down if you use peeled/deveined shrimp.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 large red bell peppers, diced
2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch lengths
2 teaspoons lemon zest, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (26 - 30 per pound)
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  • Transfer the vegetables to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining oil and garlic to the pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add shrimp and cook, stirring for one minute.
  • Whisk broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and add to the pan along with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt. Cook, stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly and the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.

This was a great recipe! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the vegetables were still a little bit crunchy. The sauce was also really flavorful. I would definitely make this again.
