Shrimp in Lime-Butter Sauce

Serves 4

1 pound large shrimp, peeled & deveined
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp light butter
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3 scallions, coarsely chopped
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground

1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Spray a nonstick skillet with olive-oil nonstick spray and heat over medium heat, then add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, 3–4 minutes on each side. Transfer the shrimp to a plate.

2. Add the garlic and broth to the skillet and cook until the broth is reduced by
one-half, 3–4 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and butter, stirring to blend. Add the cilantro and scallions and cook about 30 seconds longer to heat the shrimp through. Season with the salt and pepper.

Served with Udon noodles and sugar snap peas

Results: Simple to make and very delicious! I chopped the cilantro and scallions and minced the garlic early in the day to make preparation super easy for dinner. I wouldn't change a thing about this one. Perfect!
