Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced and zested)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli florets and pat dry. If using frozen peas, set them aside to thaw slightly.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with half of the salt and black pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic and oil. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, cover, and let the broccoli steam for 3–4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Add the thawed peas to the skillet and stir to combine with the broccoli.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Add the juice and zest of the lemon, along with the remaining salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 1–2 minutes until the shrimp is warmed through and everything is well combined.
Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
