Description

A quick, one-pan garlicky skillet with succulent shrimp, crisp broccoli, and a light tangy sauce that’s ready in 20 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings!


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cups broccoli florets
1 cup chicken or seafood broth
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.
Add broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender.
Push vegetables to the sides, add butter, and cook shrimp in the center for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Stir in broth, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Simmer 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Adjust seasoning and serve warm.

Notes

Substitute shrimp with chicken breast or tofu for a vegetarian option.
Replace broccoli with cauliflower or snap peas for variety.
Use butter or olive oil; both work well for a dairy-free version.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
