Shrimp with garlic lemon Swiss chard

Approx. 180 Calories per serving. Recipe makes 1 serving.

The meat counter at the grocery store had shrimp already marinated for scampi. I decided to pass on those and just get the large (pre-cooked) shrimp, but then kept thinking of the delicious taste of lemon and garlic together. When I got home, I decided to make a lemon garlic shrimp and serve it mixed with Swiss chard instead of pasta. It was quite tasty. When I add shrimp to a dish, I like to remove the tail shell, so it is less messy to eat. If you like the shell for presentation, feel free to leave it on.
