Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 lb medium-sized shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 TBS + 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and pepper to taste
3 TBS low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
2 medium garlic cloves
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup orange juice
1 TBS minced fresh ginger
1 TBS extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
Chop garlic and let sit for 5 minutes to enhance its health-promoting properties.

Peel and devein shrimp. Rub shrimp with 2 TBS lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Heat 3 TBS broth over medium-low heat in a stainless steel skillet.

When broth begins to steam, add shrimp, red pepper flakes, orange juice, and ginger and sauté. Stir frequently.

After 2 minutes, turn the shrimp over and add garlic. Sauté until shrimp are pink and opaque throughout (approximately 3 minutes).
