Ingredients
Units
Scale
- A full batch of Low FODMAP Chimichurri Sauce
- 1-1.5 pounds large shrimp, thawed (if frozen), peeled and deveined with tails removed
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups fresh broccoli, chopped into bite sized pieces*
Instructions
- Prepare the Low FODMAP Chimichurri Sauce and allow to rest while you prepare and cook the remaining ingredients.
- Put shrimp in a large bowl and sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Heat a medium or large skillet (I use a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet) on medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of garlic-infused olive oil. Once hot, add shrimp and sauté until bright pink, about 5 minutes, flipping shrimp halfway through. Remove shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to the same skillet and swirl to coat. Add the broccoli, cover and sauté until fork tender, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the pan gets too dry, either add a bit more oil or the juices from the resting shrimp.
- Add the shrimp back to the skillet and remove from heat. Add the low FODMAP chimichurri sauce and stir until shrimp and broccoli are evenly coated.
- Serve the skillet on its own or on top of the low FODMAP option of my Instant Pot "Garlic" Mashed Potatoes (Paleo, Whole30, Low FODMAP), a baked potato (Paleo, Whole30, low FODMAP), white or brown rice (low FODMAP and gluten-free), cauliflower rice (Paleo, Whole30), or your preferred starch.
Notes
