Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound argentine red shrimp - peeled, deveined and tail off
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup unsweetened full fat canned coconut milk - Use the thick part
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice - About juice from ½ lemon
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Defrost the shrimp. I typically defrost them overnight in the fridge. I find that’s the best way.
  • Once defrosted, pat them dry to remove excess water.
  • To a bowl add the shrimp, oil, garlic powder, paprika, pepper and salt.
  • Heat a skillet on medium heat. Cook the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side. Turn the heat to medium low and add coconut milk, lemon juice and parsley. Simmer for 2-3 minutes before serving.
