Hey guys!! Another low carb, super easy and quick recipe for you. This Easy Garlic Butter Shrimp and Vegetable Skillet have all of my favourite ingredients. You know what makes this Butter Garlic shrimp different from all other recipes out there?? It is the Roasted Cumin Powder. I love love love Cumin.
You would find whole cumin seeds and roasted cumin powder in my kitchen any time of the year. The earthy aroma that cumin gives just so good. Cumin is widely used in Indian Cuisine. Whole cumin is used for tempering, while roasted powdered cumin is used in almost all types of curries and stir-fries. One of my favourite ways of using roasted cumin powder is to sprinkle on top of plain yoghurt.
Garlic Butter shrimp is such a classic and one of our favourites. I make it quite often as an appetizer or to serve over pasta. This time I upgraded the usual Garlic Butter Shrimp to a wholesome and more flavourful meal. Crunchy peppers and Zucchini not only added that extra crunch but also provided required fibre.
All it takes is one Skillet to make this Easy Garlic Butter Shrimp and Vegetable Skillet, so less mess and minimal clean-up. I used my Lodge Cast Iron Pan here.
✔ One Skillet.
✔ Less than 10 ingredients.
✔ Take less than 20 minutes start to end.
✔ High in protein, Low Carb and loaded with vegetables.
✔ Most Importantly it is damn delicious.
Let me walk you through the recipe really quick. Start with the freshest Shrimp. I like to keep the tail on because it looks pretty in Picture ;). Ok, not exactly !! Keeping the tail on adds extra flavour to the dish, so It is up to you to decide. Add butter (lots of it..) to the hot skillet, along with little oil to prevent butter from burning. Add clean shrimp, saute for a couple of minutes.
Next, add garlic, spices. Mix well !! Then add peppers and zucchini. Finish off the dish with a good squeeze of lemon and fresh parsley. Toss everything well.
And that's IT. Your dinner loaded with flavour and texture is ready in no time.
Enjoy!!

Can Ghee be used instead of butter?

You can definitely use ghee if you like the taste of it. The overall flavour will vary.

Would it be okay to use coconut oil for a dairy free option?
subhasmita says
Yes, you can use Coconut Oil. Only thing is there will not be any buttery flavour. 🙂
