Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional, grated)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and the red pepper flakes. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s enough space for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the shrimp. In the same large bowl, combine the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, the zest of 1 lemon, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
After the broccoli has roasted for 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully add the shrimp on top of the broccoli. Spread everything out into an even layer.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted broccoli and shrimp. Toss gently to combine.
If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving for an added layer of flavor.
Serve warm as a standalone dish or pair it with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
