Serves 1 · 5 min prep · 8 min cook
Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 5oz (140g) peeled shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side until pink. Remove and set aside.
Use tamari for gluten-free soy sauce. Swap shrimp for diced chicken breast if shellfish-allergic.
~4 min
Add 1 diced medium zucchini and 2 minced garlic cloves to the pan. Cook until zucchini is soft, about 3 minutes.
~3 min
Return shrimp to pan, add 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce and a squeeze of lemon. Toss and serve.
Buy pre-peeled, deveined shrimp to save time. Frozen works perfectly — thaw under cold running water for 5 minutes.
