Health benefits of Crispy Shrimp with Ginger and Garlic

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 piece fresh ginger
2 medium cloves garlic
1 tbsp. grated lemon zest
1 1/2 lb. large shrimp
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 c. Wondra or all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 c. beer
2 tbsp. cold unsalted butter

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine ginger, garlic, and lemon zest; set aside. Rinse shrimp and pat dry with paper towels; sprinkle with salt. Place flour in a large, sealable plastic bag; add shrimp and toss until well coated.
In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over high heat. Add shrimp and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes, flipping once about halfway through cooking. Add ginger mixture; cook 30 seconds. Slowly pour in beer; gently shake pan. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Turn off heat; add butter, swirling pan until butter has melted and thickened the sauce. Serve immediately.
