Want to kick up your boring shrimp recipe? Not only will the protein keep you satisfied for hours, but the chile will fire up your metabolism because of the capsaicin!
Chile-Garlic Shrimp
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
10 cloves of garlic, thinly sliced
2 lbs large shrimp, shelled and deveined
2 dried chiles (plus more for garnish, if desired)
2 tsp lime juice
2 tbsp chopped parsley
Heat oil in a medium saute pan over hight heat. Saute garlic until browned, about 2 minutes. Add shrimp and chiles; saute until shrimp are cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add brandy and cook one minute more. Remove from heat. Ready to serve! Remember, you can sprinkle parsley, salt, or more chiles for that extra taste!
Also, feel free to enjoy this over 1/2 cup of brown rice, or a bed of lettuce.
What makes this dish so great? It only has 160 calories per 5 shrimp, and 5.5 grams of fat. Also, a whopping 23.3 grams of protein!
