Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced (assorted colors)
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by peeling and deveining the shrimp if not done. Slice your bell peppers and zucchini and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli to the skillet. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  3. Mix in the minced garlic and the shrimp to the skillet. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque.
  4. Remove from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish for an extra pop of flavor, and serve immediately!

Notes

For best results, use fresh shrimp. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for proper sautéing. Consider adding red pepper flakes for extra heat. Use a skillet for reheating to maintain texture.
