There are so many ways to cook shrimp, but our version keeps it light, quick and flavorful. Adding Microgreens is easy and boosts the nutritional value. There's another reason we add our Microgreens to the end of our recipes as more than just a garnish. In their fresh form, Microgreens provide 4-10x the antioxidants and nutrients of other vegetables. That being said, don't hesitate to use microgreens as you would any other vegetable to add texture and color. It's all good! Let's get started!

1 large Zucchini, chopped
6-8 Brussel Sprouts, halved

1 cup BrightFresh Micro Kale Mix
1 lemon
2 pats of butter (2 tbsp.)
Paprika
Salt & Pepper, to taste (plus option seasonings, like lemon-pepper, garlic salt)

On the stove, heat a skillet or sautee pan on medium heat.
Add 1 tbsp. of oil of your choice.

Add cooked shrimp into the skillet and stir all together for 1-2 minutes - just enough time to warm up shrimp.
