Ingredients
- 2 large heads broccoli trimmed into bite-sized florets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste if desired
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste if desired
- 1 pound raw shrimp cleaned, deveined, shells removed (I used U12 shrimp, i.e. 12 per 1 pound)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to HIGH broiler setting and place the top oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler. NOTE - All broilers run very differently and suggested broiling times are estimates for what worked in my oven. Watch you food, and not the clock, very closely to make sure it neither burns when you're least expecting it nor is underdone (although much less likely to happen).
- Line a half-sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, add the broccoli, evenly drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, toss with your hands to combine, place sheet pan under the broiler, and broil for about 5 minutes, or until florets are turning lightly browned and dried out looking on the tips of the florets.
- Remove pan from the oven, flip and toss the broccoli, add the shrimp, evenly drizzle the shrimp with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, and return pan to the broiler for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked through. NOTE - My pan was so hot after I broiled the broccoli for 5 minutes in step 2 that upon placing the shrimp on the pan, they started turning pink and cooking on contact. Shrimp cook very quickly and even my large U12 shrimp cooked in less than 3 minutes. There is no need to flip them. Remove pan from the oven and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, add the lemon juice, stir to combine, and evenly drizzle over the shrimp and broccoli, as desired (I used it all). Taste and check for seasoning balance and add more salt and/or pepper, as desired, and serve immediately. Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 3 days.
