Ingredients

  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • kosher salt and pepper
  • 1 bag Fremont Fish Market Jumbo EZ Peel Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 lemon, freshly juiced
  • pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 pouch Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice

Instructions 

  • Pat the shrimp completely dry with a paper towel.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the broccoli florets and cook, stirring often, until it toasts and bit and softens, about 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a plate.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Season the shrimp all over with the salt and pepper. Add it to the butter and cook until opaque, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Stir in the garlic cloves.
  • Add in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Add in the lemon slices and the lemon juice. Let the mixture bubble for a minute or two. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes.
  • Add the broccoli back to the skillet and toss. Serve immediately with the Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice on the side!
