I finally got a Costco membership this year after not having renewed it for the past two years. The Costco's in Japan are a little different in terms of products offered. Not many organic things and most products are Japanese (miso soup, rice, dried fish, beans, etc) so I usually just go there for the meat and cheese.
I got myself that huge double pack of goat cheese since they don't sell it anywhere else in my city. To be honest, I've been eating it by the spoon more often than cooking with it haha. But since I had some shrimps on hand, I thought it would go really well with them.
This easy dish really doesn't need any time to make. Just fry the shrimps up for a couple of minutes and you're good to go! So if you're short on time, definitely try this out!
If you're not too fond of goat cheese, you could always try using a milder cheese like ricotta or mascarpone.

Delicious -- rave reviews from everyone. We "might" have added a little more goat cheese, but who's counting . . . .
Nancy
any thoughts about what I could substitute for the goat cheese? (really don't like goat cheese)
Mira
Hi Nancy, you could use mascarpone cheese.
Sarah
Delicious 🙂

This looks delicious! Where are all the carbs coming from though? 6.6 seems high for these specific ingredients . . .

Hi Tammy, shrimp and garlic have 8g net carbs alone, plus a few carbs in the spices, lemon juice and goat cheese.

Carbs are from the goat cheese and garlic (1 gr per clove). But these have a lot of good nutrients, not empty carbs. Also, notice that one serving is 8 oz of shrimp. That is a big serving. You might split it into two meals.
