Spicy Shrimp with Chilies and Garlic

Sauteed shrimp with garlic, dried chilies and lemon juice – it’s spicy, garlicky, acidic and sooooo good! You can serve this as an appetizer or for dinner over some baby greens with a crusty whole wheat baguette. And the best part about this dish – it’s ready in under 15 minutes.

Spicy Shrimp with Chilies and Garlic

I love shrimp on any summer day. A few of my favorite easy shrimp recipes are Shrimp Scampi Foil Packets, Garlic Shrimp in Coconut Milk Tomatoes and Cilantro, Cajun Shrimp in Foil, and Sheet Pan Shrimp with Broccolini and Tomatoes.

If you don’t have dried chilies, you can use a generous amount of crushed red pepper. If you don’t like spicy food, you can leave the chilies out completely. You can also make this with lime juice and cilantro for a twist of this dish, see Cilantro Lime Shrimp. This is gluten-free, paleo-friendly and low calorie… but trust me, you would never know it (it’s THAT good!).
