Simple Shrimp Scampi Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1½ lb (675 g) raw medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp dried parsley
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 4 tbsp butter
• 1 large lemon juice
• 4 cups baby spinach
• 4 cups Cauliflower Rice
• ½ cup Quick Pesto

1. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes, turning with a spatula to coat the shrimp with garlic.
2. Reduce the heat to low and add salt, pepper, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to coat the shrimp with spices. Add butter and half of the lemon juice, and stir until butter has melted, forming a sauce.
3. Using tongs, transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl, leaving the juices in the pan. To the same pan, add the spinach and cook, turning with a spatula until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining lemon juice and stir.
4. To assemble the meals, place 1 cup cauliflower rice into each of 4 containers. Top the cauliflower rice with 2 tbsp pesto. Divide the shrimp and spinach evenly among the containers and spoon any remaining juices over top.
