Heinen’s shrimp is seasoned with plenty of spices, including chili powder and cayenne pepper, then quickly sautéed for about 5 minutes. The shrimp is served atop garlicky roasted kale that’s dressed with fresh lime juice.

I love the texture of this roasted kale – it’s tender but also crispy around the edges. I will typically make a double batch of this recipe, using two pounds of curly green kale divided between two pans. It keeps in the fridge for a few days and is delicious in grain bowls!

Spicy Shrimp with Roasted Garlic Kale
Servings: 3-4
Ingredients
- 1 bunch curly green kale, about 1 lb.
- ¼ cup Heinen’s extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- 1 lb. Heinen’s fresh peeled and deveined shrimp
- ½ tsp. Heinen’s chili powder
- ½ tsp. Heinen’s garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. Heinen’s cayenne pepper
- Lime wedges, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Remove the ribs from the kale leaves, then tear each leaf into 2-3 large pieces. Toss with 3 Tbsp. of the olive oil and minced garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper and use your hands or tongs to massage the leaves for 30 seconds.
- Arrange the kale on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 15-18 minutes, stirring once halfway through, or until the leaves are tender and starting to crisp around the edges. Toss with lime juice and set aside.
- Season the shrimp with the chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Add salt to taste.
- Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp. of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until no longer pink.
- Serve the shrimp over the roasted kale with lime wedges, if desired.
