Ingredients
- 1 pound medium or large shrimp peeled and deveined, tails removed if desired
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- ¼ cup water
- 8 ounces medium pasta shells boiled until tender and drained
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups whole milk or half n half for a richer sauce, sub one cup of heavy cream
- ⅔ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1-2 teaspoons salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper or ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- additional grated parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Drizzle oil in a large (2-inch deep) skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and saute for 4-6 minutes until opaque and cooked through. Transfer to a dish and cover to keep warm.
- Add broccoli and water to the pan, cover and cook 4-6 minutes until broccoli is fork-tender. Drain any remaining liquid and set broccoli aside with the shrimp.
- Add butter to the pan (still over medium heat). Once melted, stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Sprinkle flour over melted butter and stir to combine.
- Gradually whisk in milk until incorporated and smooth.
- Stir in cheese, salt, and pepper until cheese is completely melted and incorporated. Taste, add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Stir in cooked pasta shells, shrimp, and broccoli. Top with additional parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
- For a richer, creamier sauce use 1 cup heavy cream in place of the fat free or whole milk.
