Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for roasting broccoli
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • About 8 ounces cooked linguine, spaghetti, or your favorite grain (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
  2. Cook pasta or grain according to package instructions if using. Drain and set aside.
  3. Pat shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Mince garlic, zest and juice lemon, and chop parsley.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in white wine or chicken broth to deglaze, scraping browned bits. Simmer 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  6. Stir in lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and an extra tablespoon of butter. Season with salt and pepper. Return shrimp to skillet, toss to coat, and cook for another minute.
  7. Assemble the bowl by placing pasta or rice, topping with roasted broccoli, then shrimp. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking shrimp to avoid steaming and rubbery texture. Pat shrimp dry before cooking for a better sear. Roast broccoli at high heat for caramelized edges. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Butter melting stage is important for silky sauce. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat best in a skillet with a splash of water or broth.
