Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry and season with 1/2 tsp salt. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then the 1 sliced zucchini and 1 sliced yellow squash. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 6-8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 chopped tomato. Cook until the tomato softens and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, add the remaining 1/2 tsp salt, and toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through.

  6. Step 6

    Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the top and serve hot, with extra lemon wedges if desired.
