It is an effortless, flavor-packed solution for busy evenings, ensuring perfectly cooked seafood and vibrant vegetables every single time.
Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups broccoli florets, cut into uniform pieces
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for one minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for two to three minutes per side until pink and cooked through.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and sauté for four to five minutes until crisp-tender.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Stir all contents thoroughly to ensure the garlic butter evenly coats the shrimp and broccoli before serving.
Notes
Ensure broccoli pieces are uniform in size to allow for even cooking. Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be just opaque. Serve immediately for the best texture.
