Asian Pepper Shrimp Paleo Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 tbsp coconut oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 ½ lb shrimp, raw, peeled, tails on
• 1 tbsp coconut aminos
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put big, heavy skillet over low heat and melt coconut oil. Mince or crush garlic and throw it in. Stir for 2 to 3 minutes, keeping heat low— you don’t want the garlic to brown.
2. Now throw in shrimp and sauté until pink through, probably 4 to 5 minutes, depending on how big they are. Stir in coconut aminos, fish sauce, and pepper. Sauté another minute or so.
3. Plate shrimp and turn up burner under skillet. Heat combined oil and liquid in pan, letting it cook down for a minute or two. Pour over shrimp. Top each serving with a tablespoon of chopped cilantro and serve.
