Citrus Skillet Shrimp
It’s a well-known fact that shrimp reaches full deliciousness when perked up with the bright flavors of lively citrus. In this lovely potato skillet recipe, we’re swapping the lemon with an orange to add a hint of sweet to the tanginess.
We think potatoes and shrimp don’t get to be on the same plate often enough, let alone in the same skillet. And once you’ve tried this top-rated recipe, you’ll agree. Crispy baked potato slices get to join juicy shrimp and strips of poblano pepper sautéed in a bit of freshly squeezed orange juice and garlic. Oh, and did we mention the green olive halves that add a mild salty kick to every bite?
