"This is so easy to throw together on those busy nights when you want to serve something healthy. Using already cooked shrimp allows you to have dinner on the table in 15 minutes!"

ingredients

• 1 lb large cooked shrimp

directions

1. Shrimp Preparation:

2. Defrost shrimp, and remove tails.
3. Place shrimp in a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder and lime juice. Set aside.

4. Stir Fry:

5. In large frying pan or wok, heat remaining olive oil and butter. Add all of the remaining ingredients (except shrimp). Cook on med high until vegetables are cooked, but crisp to the bite.
