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.
