Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil only the oil, not the solids
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup gluten-free chicken broth or vegetable broth

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Medium bowl (for mixing ingredients)
  • Zester (for lemon zest, optional)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Shrimp: Thaw the shrimp (if frozen) and pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the garlic-infused olive oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat up, but not to smoke.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan, so the shrimp cook evenly.
  4. Add the Seasoning: Once the shrimp are cooked, add the butter, chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and paprika (if using) to the pan. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for another minute or two, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Notes

  • Garlic-infused Olive Oil: If you’re on a low FODMAP diet, be sure to use garlic-infused olive oil instead of fresh garlic, as garlic itself is high in FODMAPs. The oil captures the garlic flavor without causing digestive issues.
  • Shrimp Alternatives: If shrimp isn’t your preferred protein, you can swap it for other low FODMAP-friendly options like white fish (cod, tilapia) or even chicken.
  • Side Dish Ideas: This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, quinoa, gluten-free pasta, or a fresh salad.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat gently to preserve the shrimp’s tender texture.
