Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 lb medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 TBS + 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and pepper to taste
3 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 medium garlic cloves
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup orange juice
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

Chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting properties.
Peel and devein shrimp.
Rub shrimp with 2 TBS lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Heat 3 TBS broth over medium-low heat in a stainless steel skillet.
When broth begins to steam, add shrimp, red pepper flakes, orange juice, and ginger and sauté. Stir frequently. After 2 minutes, turn the shrimp over and add garlic. Sauté until shrimp are pink and opaque throughout (approximately 3 minutes). Shrimp cook quickly, so watch your cooking time. They become tough if overcooked.
