12 ounces peeled, deveined, frozen shrimp

1 tablespoon olive oil

⅛ teaspoon salt

¼ cup sunflower seeds

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 lemon, cut into wedges

Pan spray

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil lightly with pan spray.
Spread shrimp over the baking sheet in an even layer. Season with salt and pepper. Broil 3-4 minutes or until almost completely pink and cooked.
While the shrimp is broiling, combine olive oil, sunflower seeds, garlic, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
After the shrimp has had its 3-4 minutes in the oven remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the shrimp to expose the opposite side. The pan will be VERY hot! Spoon the garlic mixture evenly over the shrimp. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes or until shrimp is fully cooked. (Shrimp will be totally pink, 145°F internal temp).
To serve, sprinkle shrimp with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Recipe Makeovers

There are some recipes we make the same way every time. Traditional family recipes, like Mom’s chicken or Grandma’s cookies, must be followed to create the desired result. Other recipes have more flexibility. Many recipes we come across while scrolling social media can be tweaked to be made more nutritious without compromising the recipe’s integrity. With this in mind, we can start with almost any recipe and still end up with something that sounds good and is more nutrient-dense.
