Shrimp with Garlic and Vegetables

Step 1

Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry with paper towels and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Slice the 1 red bell pepper into thin strips and chop the 4 green onions, separating white and green parts. Mince the 4 garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the bell pepper and white parts of green onions; cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and 1 tsp dried oregano; stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Push vegetables to one side, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and the shrimp in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes, until bottoms turn pink.

Step 6

Flip shrimp and cook until opaque and curled, about 2 more minutes. Season with remaining salt and pepper.

Step 7

Stir in the green parts of green onions and remove from heat. Serve hot with crusty bread or rice.
