Can I use frozen shrimp to make shrimp and veggies Recipe?

Yes, you can make this easy shrimp meal prep dinner using frozen shrimp! Just buy uncooked shrimp, and if possible as you want to cook the shrimp in the garlic butter and infuse the shrimp with flavour.

How do I thaw frozen shrimp?

You can thaw frozen shrimp in the fridge overnight. However, if you’ve forgotten to thaw the shrimp overnight in the fridge, not to worry! You can quickly thaw it by placing frozen shrimp into a bowl or colander in the sink. Then run cold water over it for 5 to 10 minutes, giving it a shake every so often so the water can thaw the shrimp evenly.

It will take longer if your shrimp are larger. Small shrimp take much less time to thaw. After the shrimp has thawed, you’ll have to pat them dry with a paper towel or the shrimp will steam instead of sear in the pan. This step is very important to get a nice colour on the shrimp.

Ingredients 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 3 tbsp clarified butter or ghee for whole30 and paleo diets
• ▢ 1 tbsp olive oil
• ▢ 1 lb large shrimp tails off, peeled and deveined
• ▢ salt and black pepper to taste
• ▢ 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ▢ 3 garlic clove minced
• ▢ 2 big bell pepper diced
• ▢ 1 medium red onion chopped
• ▢ 2 medium zucchinis chopped
• ▢ fresh parsley for garnishing

Instructions 

• Place the butter and olive oil in a large skillet and melt over medium high heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until shrimp is pink.
• Add garlic and cook for one more minute. Set shrimp aside.
• If necessary add more olive oil in the skillet and sauté bell pepper, onions, zucchini and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 3-5 minutes. I like my veggies tender, but if you prefer, you can cook them for 2 minutes more to be softer.
  
• Bring shrimp back to the skillet. Stir everything well to combine.
  
• MEAL PREPPING: Place an even amount of shrimp and veggies into 4 different glass containers. Divide the shrimp vegetable skillet recipe into 4 portions. Cover with the lid, and place in the fridge for up 4 days. Heat in the microwave for about 2 minutes.
  

Notes

• You can buy shrimp with tails removed, deveined, and peeled to save time.
• You can use frozen shrimp for this meal prep bowl but you need to fully thaw them before using. 
• Try to use the largest skillet you have as it’ll help prevent the ingredients from overcrowding. 
• To store: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• To reheat: You can reheat this shrimp and veggies meal prep in the microwave.
