Easy garlic shrimp recipe with peas and artichokes! A quick and bright one-skillet meal. Be sure to see our suggestions for what to serve along.
Ya gotta love shrimp ! It’s one of those ingredients that take very little effort to work with. Tasty, and super versatile! I always keep some frozen raw shrimp, already peeled and deveined, on hand for quick use.
Armed with a large skillet and a bag of shrimp, I can make a mean shrimp dinner in minutes. My garlic-parmesan shrimp , for example, takes 10 minutes, tops! And if you loved my earlier shrimp pasta or garlicky shrimp scampi , you’ll want to give this lemon garlic shrimp with peas and baby artichokes!
About this Lemon Garlic Shrimp Recipe
Adding peas and canned artichokes here easily turns my few shrimps into a bright one-skillet meal. And as the name already implies, the main flavors here are lemon and garlic. But a quartet of my favorite spices makes a great coating for the shrimp and adds depth to this simple recipe. Here I used, coriander , cumin , sweet paprika and Aleppo pepper.
What to serve with this lemon garlic shrimp recipe?
Because this is quite a lemony dish, I like to serve it on top of a simple small pasta like orzo, or my go-to Lebanese rice. And no need to complicate things, a bowl of salad to start the meal is really all you need. I went with fattoush salad this time, but you can choose from the many Mediterranean salad options here.

- Serve hot with a side of simple orzo or this Lebanese rice.
Notes
Cook’s notes : This recipe is fairly lemony and is best served with a starch like a simple orzo or small pasta or this Lebanese rice. Prepare sides in advance as it cooks quickly. See suggestions above in the post for more ideas on what to serve along.
