Health benefits of Sautéed Garlic Shrimp

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

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 pounds large shrimp, shelled and deveined
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

In a very large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderately high heat until light golden, about 2 minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until white throughout, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the lemon juice and butter and cook over low heat until the butter is melted and the sauce coats the shrimp. Spoon the shrimp and sauce into shallow bowls and serve.
