15-Minute Spicy Garlic Ginger Shrimp

Not to state the obvious here, but there’s so much to love about shrimp. It’s delicious, surprisingly low-cal, and super versatile. There are endless ways to prepare and serve shrimp, and they’re pretty much all crowd-pleasers. This easy 15-minute spicy garlic ginger shrimp is a simple shrimp recipe with a spicy kick. It’s perfect for busy weeknights when you can’t spare a lot of time, and don’t want to spare any flavor.

I fell in love with shrimp from an early age. As a young child, I specifically remember ordering a shrimp cocktail as my meal anytime anyone let me into a fancy restaurant. Can’t take me anywhere.

But really, you just can’t go wrong with shrimp. Even most of my friends who hate seafood have a soft spot for shrimp. How could you not? It’s so tasty, so pretty, and as I mentioned before, so low-cal. Any time I find out something I legitimately enjoy eating is naturally low-calorie, my faith in the world is temporarily restored. Maybe life isn’t so unfair after all.

Aside from being delicious and pretty, though, there are plenty more reasons to love shrimp. Along with being a low-cal source of protein, shrimp also boast a pretty robust nutritional profile for such tiny little, well, shrimp. These little shellfish provide an array of nutrients, including:

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
