Simple & Healthy Shrimp Stir-Fry

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 kg jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large zucchini, diced
  • 1 can of corn
  • 1 cup red grape tomatoes, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • Parmesan shavings
  • Juice of 1 lemon

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and garlic, then saute until the shrimp are opaque, about 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
  • Increase the heat to high, then throw in the zucchini. Stir it around for about 45 seconds, then scoot the zucchini to the edges of the pan. Throw in the corn and cook it for a minute, then push it to the edges of the pan. Throw in the grape tomatoes and chickpeas, stir them around for a minute, add the chilli flakes and then sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste.
  • Then throw the shrimp back in. Stir everything around for about 45 seconds, or until it's all combined and hot. Then pour it onto a big platter.
  • Sprinkle on the fresh cilantro and some Parmesan shavings then ... this is the best part ... squeeze the lemon all over the top. This adds a wonderful, indescribable freshness.
  • You can serve this with rice, with pasta or it's just perfect on its own.
  • BON APPETITE!
