Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large bowl
  • Small microwave-safe bowl or saucepan

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4-5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 fresh lemon (juice of half, wedges for serving)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • red pepper flakes (optional) Pinch
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, then spread them on one half of the baking sheet.

Cooking

  • Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • While the broccoli roasts, melt butter and mix with minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Add shrimp to the bowl used for broccoli, pour two-thirds of the garlic butter mixture over them, and toss to coat.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet, add the seasoned shrimp to the other half, and spread them in a single layer.
  • Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 8-12 minutes until shrimp are opaque and broccoli is tender-crisp.

Finishing

  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven, drizzle with the remaining garlic butter, and garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the broccoli and shrimp are spread in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
