Ingredients:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
-
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Cook the shrimp for about 1-2 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the chicken or vegetable broth and broccoli florets. Cover the skillet and let the broccoli cook for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes crisp-tender.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
-
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the creamy garlic sauce along with the broccoli. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the shrimp to heat through.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes if desired.
-
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
-
Serve your One Pot Garlicky Shrimp and Broccoli hot, either on its own or over cooked pasta, rice, or quinoa for a complete meal.
