Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 12 ounces Spaghetti or fettuccine pasta
- 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the pasta, and set the pasta aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turns 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 cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. You can add a splash of water to the pan and cover it with a lid for 2 minutes to steam the broccoli slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and stir to coat everything evenly. If you prefer a saltier flavor, add the optional soy sauce. Stir in the red pepper flakes if you'd like a little heat.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. If the dish looks dry, gradually add the reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
