Lemon Shrimp


Once the shrimp have been cleaned this is a quick dish. I think Trader Joe's has frozen shrimp already cleaned, but I'm not sure. If you do go to TJ make sure you pick up the raw shrimp.

12 - 16 medium shrimp -- peeled and cleaned
1 medium onion sliced
1/4 cup Piquillo peppers chopped (found at TJs)
2 garlic cloves chopped - divided
1 lemon juiced
1 lime juiced
1 Tbls tequila (optional)
2 tspn lemon pepper
1 tspn salt
2 Tbls olive oil

Once shrimp have been cleaned place in a bowl. Sprinkle with half of the garlic, lemon juice, and pepper. While shrimp is marinating, add olive oil over medium heat. Saute onions until soft. Add remaining garlic, peppers, and salt. Saute for another 2 minutes. Add shrimp and tequila. Saute for 3 minutes. Serve over rice.

I also served it with roasted lemon broccoli.
