Ingredients

  • 12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ lime (juice)

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook until shrimp start to turn pink and get opaque, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until done.
  • Add the chili powder to the pan and toss with the shrimp (stir in the pan) until shrimp are evenly coated.
  • Plate and squeeze the juice of ½ a lime over the shrimp.

Notes

  • If cooking frozen shrimp, you can add them directly to the pan from frozen, but they will take an additional 5-7 minutes to cook per side as they thaw out in the pan and cook.
  • This recipe can serve 1 or 2 people, depending on how you use the shrimp! If you're adding to something else, it can serve two people. If you're eating on your own, it may just serve one.
