Healthy Garlic Butter Shrimp and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs medium raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 1/2 lbs broccoli rinsed and cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce, your choice
- Crushed chili pepper flakes, optional
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the broccoli, season to your liking, and sauté until it’s crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes. Set the broccoli aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, then add the shrimp. Season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 1-2 minutes on one side.
- Next, add minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, and onion powder to the shrimp. Stir everything together and flip the shrimp to cook on the other side for 1 minute. Pour in 1/4 cup of vegetable stock and a bit of Sriracha, letting the sauce reduce for about 1 minute without overcooking the shrimp.
- Move the shrimp to one side of the pan, then return the broccoli to the pan, stirring it into the sauce. Drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp and broccoli and cook for another 1-2 minutes to reheat. Garnish with parsley, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes if desired, and serve immediately! Enjoy!
