Make this quick and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender shrimp coated in a rich garlic butter sauce alongside crisp broccoli florets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli turns bright green and is tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to coat the shrimp and broccoli in the garlic butter sauce.
  8. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a low-carb meal, serve the skillet directly.
  • Serve this dish over cooked rice, quinoa, or pasta for a more substantial meal.
  • If you prefer a tangier sauce, increase the lemon juice to 2 tablespoons.
