Quick EasyShrimp Dinner - Gluten Free - Paleo Freindly
Ingredients
- 12 extra large or Jumbo Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 medium size sweet potatoes or 1 large one halved just before serving
- 3 cups baby carrots
- salt
- 1/4 stick butter plus some pads for serving the potatoes
- 1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes or 2 tbsp.chopped fresh
- 2 lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- We suggest keeping some peeled and deveined frozen shrimp in the freezer. Just put as many as you need in a bowl of water and let them thaw as you get the veggies going. If you are working with fresh shrimp just peel and devein them as the carrots are cooking.
- I'll bet that you have some baby carrots in the fridge so put some in a pot of water, add a pinch of salt and put it on the stove at medium high.
- Put the potatoes in a bowl in the microwave and zap 'em for about five minutes. We went with sweet potatoes tonight because,,well,,that's what Gammy wanted.
- When the carrots are as soft to a poke with a fork as YOU want them to be. Drain all but tiny bit of the water off and add the butter and the parsley. Mix it up getting the carrots all covered and put it on the smallest burner at very low. Mix them up a couple of times as you go about your shrimp duties.
- Put a skillet on at medium high and swirl in a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Spread the shrimp out on some paper towels and pat them dry. Then spread them out flat on the bottom of the skillet.
- Just give them about one to one and a half minutes a side or until the outside is pink and the middle is opaque.
- Ten go ahead and enjoy your Twenty Minute Shrimp dinner.Now, Wasn't that easy!?
