Health benefits of Spicy Grilled Shrimp with Garlic & Lemon

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

1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tbsp. whole-grain mustard
2 lb. large easy-peel shrimp
2 lemons, 1 thinly sliced and 1 halved
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped fresh chives, for serving

Instructions

Combine oil, garlic, celery seed, and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until garlic is golden, sizzling, and fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard and transfer to a bowl; cool completely.
Add shrimp and sliced lemon to oil mixture. Season with salt and black pepper; toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Heat grill to medium-high. Grill shrimp and lemon slices until lemons and shrimp are lightly charred and shrimp are just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side.
To serve, transfer to a platter, sprinkle with chives, and squeeze lemon halves over top.
