🦐 Key Ingredients Notes
Two places I highly recommend where you can buy shrimps: Seafood City if you feel like driving out to the city. Or Franco's Pescheria in Lake Zurich ~ tell Frank we said hello!
For this you would want to get shrimps with head and tails on. It's more flavorful. You just need to clean and devein the shrimp, or you can have your fishmonger clean them for you.
🔪 How To Make This Dish
- This dish is very simple to make and can be done in three easy steps:
- Clean and devein shrimp (but if you buy the shrimps already cleaned, you can omit this step!)
- Cook the shrimp on a skillet in medium-high heat with olive oil and 7Up. Stir occasionally.
- Once the liquid has evaporated, remove it from heat and serve! That's it!
👩🏻🍳 Nutritional Expert Tips
- Shrimp is high in several vitamins and minerals and is a rich source of protein. Eating shrimp may also promote heart and brain health due to its content of omega-3 fatty acids.

Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp (cleaned, deveined with heads on)

- Once liquid has evaporated, turn heat off and place shrimp on a platter. Serve immediately.
