Baked Shrimp with Sautéed Spinach, Grape Tomatoes and Lemon.
I love shrimp for dinner. It is easy and healthy inspired dish. Shrimp has an impressive nutrition profile. It is quite low in calories, providing only 84 calories in a 3-ounce (85-gram) serving, and is very low in carbs. Approximately 90% of the calories in shrimp come from protein, and the rest come from fat. It is perfect and delicious, I always have a bag of frozen jumbo easy to peel and deveined shrimp in the freezer for a quick inspired dinner.
Ingredients
One bag of jumbo Frozen Shrimp thawed
(I usually use the whole bag to feed 4 or have leftovers)
1 pint of fresh grape or cherry tomatoes
2 - 4 cups of fresh or frozen spinach
Onion powder
Garlic powder
2 cloves fresh garlic
Parsley (dried or fresh)
Olive oil
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon slices
Salt and Pepper
Instructions
Thaw shrimp in a glass Pyrex dish. It is better than thawing in water which tends to water down the taste. Once thawed peel the shrimp and remove tails, pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with onion and garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper, Bake in a 400 degree oven until the shrimp are almost done, add tomatoes and continue to bake until tomatoes are warm but not bursting set aside (keep warm).
Peel and slice fresh garlic, sauté spinach in olive oil with the garlic, salt and pepper to taste.
Plate spinach and top with baked shrimp and tomatoes, squeeze 1/4 of a lemon over the dish. Add fresh lemon slices and serve. Enjoy! #myinspiredrecipes #shrimp
