Cooking Instructions

15 min
  1. 1

    Bring pasta water (one pot) and water for broccoli (2nd pot) to boil. While that is heating up chop your broccoli & onions and mince your garlic

  2. 2

    Get a sauté pan ready with 2 Tbs EVOO and 2T butter. Melt over low heat.

  3. 3

    Pasta water should be boiling - add pasta and set timer for al denté.

  4. 4

    Broccoli water should be boiling - add broccoli and cover.

  5. 5

    Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant in sauté pan. About 1 min

  6. 6

    Cook broccoli to just under desired doneness. For me it is barely fork tender. It will finish off in the pan later.

  7. 7

    Add shrimp to EVOO in sauté pan (single layer) and cook 2 min or until they curl and turn pink on the bottom (heat side).

  8. 8

    Use tongs to flip each shrimp over. Then season with salt, pepper and a tiny pinch of parsley. Cook about 2 min.

  9. 9

    Add wine, butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and a hefty pinch of parsley to shrimp. Sauté 3-4 min.

  10. 10

    Add cooked broccoli and drained pasta. Mix/toss well to coat for 1 min. Then turn off heat.

  11. 11

    Serve with a garnish of fresh parsley or a light sprinkle of additional dried parsley for color! ENJOY!
