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.
