Shrimp Broccoli
You won’t need delivery or take out. This shrimp broccoli dinner is easy and better than anything that comes knocking on your door. It’s gluten free, very healthy and definitely a quick and easy weeknight meal. I did a batch of Italian Mozzarella Rice for our carbs tonight. It was simple and a great match with the Shrimp Broccoli Soy Sauce. Amp up the recipes for a few extra servings and put them in the freezer because this a great “take it to work” or a “weeknight nuke it no brainer”.
Thaw out your shrimp in the microwave. Peel and devein them if you have to. Put a skillet on at medium high and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.
Let the oil get hot and lay the shrimp out in the skillet. Lightly salt and pepper them. Also maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like things a little on the spicy side.
Give them just about a minute and turn them over. Then just a minute on the other side.
Remove the shrimp to a dish while you get the broccoli going. Add another couple of tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and put in the broccoli. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss a few times as they cook.
Chop up the garlic. When the broccoli is starting to brown on the edges add the garlic. Toss a few more times and add the shrimp, the lemon juice and the soy sauce.
Toss it all together a couple more times as the shrimp warms back up then enjoy your Shrimp Broccoli with Soy Sauce. That Italian Mozzarella Rice was an easy multi task while the Shrimp Broccoli Soy Sauce came together. We had a real nice chianti – my favorite – with this real easy and real good weeknight dinner.
