Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 pound shrimp
Vegetables:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots)
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat (375°F) for 2 minutes until the surface shimmers slightly.
- Drop 4 minced garlic cloves into the hot oil and sauté for exactly 60 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Carefully add 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan, spreading them in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Cook shrimp for precisely 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until they turn completely pink and curl slightly.
- Tumble 2 cups of mixed chopped vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots) into the pan alongside 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning.
- Stir vegetables and shrimp together, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes until vegetables reach crisp-tender consistency.
- Scatter ½ cup grated parmesan cheese across the entire dish, gently mixing to coat everything evenly.
- Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper across the surface to your taste preference.
- Remove from heat immediately and transfer to serving plates while steaming hot.
Notes
- Fresh garlic makes a huge difference, so crush or mince it finely for maximum flavor release.
- Choose quick-cooking vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus to match the shrimp’s cooking time.
- For a low-carb version, skip traditional vegetables and use cauliflower rice or spiralized zucchini as a base.
- Use large or jumbo shrimp to prevent overcooking and ensure tender, juicy results that stay perfectly succulent.
