Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp

Tuesday, July 2, 2013


I have actually made roasted broccoli before, so I already knew what an amazing flavor we were in store for. I actually prefer this version (with cumin and coriander rather than the minced garlic I'd done before). Adding shrimp made the whole meal. I didn't have a lemon on hand to zest so I just squirted on some lemon juice from a bottle. Zest would have made it zing! Next time!

Also, I only had one pound of broccoli, and it was plenty for us. I just cut the seasonings down accordingly.

Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp (found the recipe HERE)
Serves 4
2 pounds broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds (or 1/2 teaspoon ground)
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds (or 1/2 teaspoon ground)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon hot chili powder
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 1/4 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 large lemon)
Lemon wedges, for serving
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons oil, coriander, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and chili powder. In a separate bowl, combine shrimp, remaining 2 tablespoons oil, lemon zest, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
2. Spread broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes. Add shrimp to baking sheet and toss with broccoli. Roast, tossing once halfway through, until shrimp are just opaque and broccoli is tender and golden around edges, about 10 minutes more. Serve with lemon wedges, or squeeze lemon juice all over shrimp and broccoli just before serving.
