Ingredients

  • For the Garlic Butter Shrimp:
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • For the Broccoli Rice:
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pulse broccoli florets in a food processor until they resemble rice. Set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter. Add garlic if using, then sauté broccoli rice for 4–5 minutes until just tender. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Set aside.
  3. In another skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.

  5. Finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
  6. Plate broccoli rice, top with garlic butter shrimp, and garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add cream or Parmesan to the shrimp for a richer dish.
