Instructions
- In a bowl, toss shrimp with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate while the cabbage cooks.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add the sliced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add shredded cabbage and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender with golden edges.
