Ingredients
1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and patted dry
2 tsp olive oil
1 tsp Wurzpott Peppa Lemon seasoning
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp light butter
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions
-
Pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels and place them in a medium bowl.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until shimmering.
-
Add shrimp in a single layer and sear for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side, until pink, opaque, lightly golden, and just cooked through.
-
If checking with a thermometer, shrimp should reach 145°F.
-
Transfer shrimp to a plate and reduce heat to medium.
-
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Return shrimp to the skillet and toss gently in the sauce until warmed through.

Stir in chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Suggested serving methods: pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, quinoa, fresh greens, roasted vegetables, crusty bread, or zucchini noodles.
Notes
Use large shrimp for the best texture and presentation. Smaller shrimp cook faster and can overcook more easily.
Patting shrimp dry before searing helps them brown instead of steam.
Do not overcook the shrimp. They are done when pink, opaque, and firm with a slight curl.
Add the garlic after removing the shrimp so it can flavor the sauce without burning.
For a richer sauce, use regular butter instead of light butter.
For a pasta version, toss the finished shrimp and sauce with cooked linguine or angel hair and add a splash of pasta water if needed.
For a lighter meal, serve over greens, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or zucchini noodles.
