Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Add 1 lb shrimp in a single layer. Cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and squeeze 1 lemon wedge over the shrimp.

  3. Step 3

    In a bowl, toss 2 cups shredded purple cabbage with 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Add a squeeze of lemon if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the garlic shrimp over 2 cups cooked rice with the cabbage salad on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if you have it.
