Shrimp in lime butter sauce

Hi friends! I am testing out a new series after lamenting and crowd sourcing my struggle to deliver healthy, wholesome meals to my family given our new back-to-school schedule. Yo girl is sick of tacos on Tuesdays and we have something every day of the week. I will be living in my car!

In case you missed last week’s “Foodie Friday: recipes made simple for busy people,” find it here. This recipe was shared by friend: Desa Radowick. Nom nom and enjoy!

Shrimp in lime butter sauce:

Ingredients

  • Uncooked shrimp: 1 pound(s), large

  • Garlic clove(s): 4 medium clove(s), minced

  • Reduced-sodium chicken broth: 1 cup(s)

  • Fresh lime juice: 2 Tbsp

  • Regular butter: 1 Tbsp, cut up

  • Cilantro: ¼ cup(s), chopped, fresh

  • Table salt: ⅛ tsp

  • Black pepper: ¼ tsp, coarsely ground

Instructions:

  1. To peel the shrimp, make a cut along the outer curved side of each; remove the shell, leaving the tail intact. Hold the shrimp under cold running water to rinse out the black veins. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. Spray a nonstick skillet with olive-oil nonstick spray and heat over medium heat, then add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, 3–4 minutes on each side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate. Add the garlic and broth to the skillet and cook until the broth is reduced by one-half, 3–4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and butter, stirring to blend. Add the cilantro and cook about 30 seconds longer to heat the shrimp through. Season with the salt and pepper. Drizzle the sauce over the shrimp.
