Roasted Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Broccoli
Description
Roasted Garlic Parmesan Shrimp and Broccoli brings together shrimp and broccoli in a simple oven-roasted dish. The shrimp are seasoned with garlic, basil, oregano, and Parmesan cheese, while the broccoli is lightly massaged with oil and roasted until just tender. The method involves roasting the broccoli first to soften it slightly before adding the shrimp to the pan to finish cooking, ensuring both components are well cooked without overdone textures. The Parmesan adds a savory layer to the shrimp, enhancing their natural sweetness.
The combination yields a dish with a mix of tender, juicy shrimp and crisp-tender broccoli, accented by aromatic herbs and the nutty cheese. Lemon wedges add a fresh acidic contrast when served, and chili garlic or cocktail sauce offer an optional dip for additional flavor. This approach makes it easy to prepare a balanced meal that pairs well with rice or crusty bread.
Adjusting the size of the shrimp calls for normal variations in cooking time to ensure the shrimp reach a safe internal temperature. Using medium shrimp allows a good balance of flavor and cook time. The recipe's flexibility with oil choice and dipping sauce lets cooks tailor the dish subtly. Care in prepping the shrimp and broccoli ensures the best texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp fresh or thawed if frozen) see notes, raw medium, tail on
- 1 lb broccoli chopped
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2.5 TBSP avocado oil or olive oil, divided
- ½ tsp basil dried
- ¼ tsp dried oregano leaves
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 lemon
- Chili garlic sauce or cocktail sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Clean and prep shrimp, defrosting if needed. I've been buying frozen, de-veined, tail-on shrimp lately so all I have to do is thaw and cook! Chill in fridge, covered, until ready to roast.
- Roughly chop broccoli into florets. Cut lemon into wedges. Peel and mince garlic.
- In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, 2 TBSP oil, basil, oregano and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk and set aside.
- Place broccoli on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 1/2 TBSP oil (or as needed), and massage oil into florets. Add salt and pepper to taste and spread florets out so they're spaced a bit. Roast for 8-10 minutes.
- Pat shrimp dry if needed and add to the large bowl with the garlic and oil. Mix well to coat and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- After the 8-10 minutes are up, move broccoli to the side and add your seasoned shrimp to the pan. If needed, shrimp and veggies can be divided between two pans and roasted at the same time. Roast shrimp and broccoli for 6-8 minutes or until cooked through and opaque.
- Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over shrimp/broccoli to add a tasty burst of citrus flavor and chili garlic sauce or cocktail sauce for dipping. Dive in while it's hot!
Notes
- Medium shrimp sizes allow for efficient cooking; large or extra large shrimp can be used by adjusting roasting time to reach an internal temperature of 120°F.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor impact on the shrimp.
- Keep shrimp chilled until ready to roast for optimal texture.
