Skinny Rosemary Lemon Shrimp


This protein-rich, low-carb six-ingredient shrimp dish is great for welcoming in spring!

Do you hear what I hear? Birds chirping. The sound of spring! Nothing welcomes a nice spring evening more than the flavors of rosemary, lemon and shrimp (plus a great Pinot Grigio!).

Rosemary-Lemon Shrimp is a common appetizer at many restaurants and is served alone,on skewers, or as a topping on a salad. Shrimp is an amazing source of protein, and while this dish has amazing skinny properties, it can be easily destroyed by adding too much butter or oil.

Skinny Rosemary-Lemon Shrimp

For this dish, my goal was simplicity without any fuss. I used just enough olive oil (who wants a greasy shrimp!) and kept the simplify of rosemary and lemon. The 10-12 ounce bag of shrimp can be found in the freezer section of any grocery store. The result, an amazing dish full of flavor!
