Last night, Brian and I polished off some the leftovers of the shrimp I made for dinner on Sunday. Β 
While we LOVED the shrimp on Sunday, we LOVED it even more last night! Β I guess those extra couple of days that the shrimp was sitting in the fridge with some orange slices really did it some good π
Sunday, I just decided to get a little creative in the kitchen. Β I kind of had an idea in mind, but really I just wanted to go with my instincts to see what would happen and we were so pleased with the end result.
I purchased some big, juicy oranges and lemons this week in honor of spring and thought to pair them with a favorite lean protein of ours…shrimp! Β Seriously friends, you gotta try this recipe. Β I promise, you won’t regret it…AND it’s SO easy!

Yields about 4 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 orange

- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 green onion, chopped
- salt to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Cute the orange in half. Β Squeeze half of the orange in the bottom of a baking dish. Β Save the other half of the orange for later in the recipe.
- Cut the lemon in half. Β Squeeze half of the lemon in the bottom of the same baking dish.
- Spread the shrimp over the orange and lemon juice.
- Top the shrimp with the chopped garlic and onions and the juice of the other half of the lemon.
- Slice the reserved half of orange into thin slices and place on top of the shrimp, scallions and garlic.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until the shrimp is pink and cooked all the way through.
- Enjoy!
This is great paired with roasted veggies and a salad and Brian loved eating his with brown rice. Β Honestly, the dish is so light and refreshing that it could really be paired with whatever your heart desires!
My plate: Β side salad, roasted veggies, shrimp.
