Description
A bright, fast skillet supper featuring garlicky shrimp and tender-crisp broccoli, ready in under 15 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups broccoli florets, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes, optional
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil until shimmering.
- Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Add shrimp in a single layer, cooking for about 1 minute before flipping. Cook another 1–2 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Push shrimp to one side and add broccoli to the empty space, tossing to coat. Add 1 tablespoon of water if the skillet looks dry, cover, and steam for 4–5 minutes until broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Toss shrimp and broccoli together, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes as desired. Squeeze lemon over each serving and serve immediately.
Notes
Frozen broccoli works well; thaw slightly and reduce steaming time. Frozen shrimp should be fully thawed and patted dry.
