I found this recipe for Lemon Garlic Shrimp in the Weight Watchers Weekly that I get at Weight Watchers meetings.
This one looked particularly good to me because I love seafood and know that most seafood, if prepared the right way, can be very healthy for you.
It’s also super easy to make.
The shrimp turned out really good, but I did not read the instructions closely enough and I used frozen shrimp, thawed.
Turns out the frozen shrimp was pre-cooked.
So after cooking in the oven for 10 minutes, the shrimp was a little chewy.
Lesson learned!! Only use uncooked shrimp, as the instructions indicate!
Also, my recommendation for this Lemon Garlic Shrimp recipe is to use large or jumbo size shrimp.
The shrimp seemed to shrink after baking it.
Maybe it was my imagination and I was just really hungry, but it just didn’t look as large after cooking it.
I served the Lemon Garlic Shrimp with steamed green beans and cooked orzo mixed with a little bit of olive oil, chopped red onions, spinach leaves, and a little garlic powder.
Mmmmm Mmmmm!
It was a tasty combination!
This was a very easy-to-make, quick, delicious, and healthy dinner!
