Healthy Shrimp and Broccoli

This vibrant dish is all about fresh ingredients and effortless cooking. Just toss everything on a sheet pan and let the oven do the work. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 cups broccoli florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional for a bit of spice)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika, then toss everything together until well coated.
Spread the shrimp and broccoli mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the shrimp are not overlapping to ensure they cook evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and cooked through and the broccoli is tender-crisp. You can broil for an additional 1-2 minutes at the end for a charred finish!
Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice and zest for a fresh burst of flavor. Top with chopped parsley before serving.
Enjoy this dish on its own or serve it over rice or quinoa for a heartier meal!
