Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat, then add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
  3. Push the vegetables to one side, add the shrimp to the empty side of the skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Stir in lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper, tossing everything together to combine and ensure the shrimp and vegetables are well-coated.
  5. Serve immediately as a light and healthy meal, paired with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a more filling option.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the shrimp in a little lemon juice and herbs for 15 minutes before cooking. You can also customize the vegetables based on your preference and what's in season.
