Garlic Shrimp with Red Beans & Rice

Instructions

• Step 1

• Mix sliced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt, olive oil, and a splash of lemon juice or vinegar if desired. Set aside to marinate.

  Step 2

• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp in a single layer.

  Step 3

• Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Add lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and remove from heat.

  Step 4

  Step 5
