Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. Medium shrimp will work, but large shrimp will be more flavorful and juicy.
  • Make sure to devein the shrimp. This will remove the dark line that runs through the back of the shrimp, which can be gritty and unappetizing.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is best, but a good quality regular olive oil will also work.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will help to ensure that the shrimp cook evenly and don't steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Add the greens to the pan at the end of cooking. This will help to prevent them from becoming overcooked and wilted.
  • Season the dish to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

Lemon garlic shrimp with greens is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful sauce made with lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil, and the greens add a healthy and colorful touch. This dish is sure to please the whole family, and it is also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
