Easy Garlic Shrimp With Broccoli

Easy Garlic Shrimp With Broccoli

When I say “easy”, I really mean it.
This is because there are not a lot of ingredients or steps in making this recipe.

If you liked my Garlic Shrimp Linguine Recipe then you will probably like this one too.

This big difference between the two recipes is that this one has broccoli and that recipe had linguine.
Technically, however, you are welcome to serve this recipe with linguine as well.

I would certainly wonder is shrimp and broccoli healthy.

To answer this question you would need to take the other ingredient into consideration.
When broccoli and shrimp are alone in a skillet, you can certainly have a healthy recipe. However, add other ingredients to that skillet and you may find that it is not as healthy.

My advice is to keep the ingredients that you add to this recipe as healthy as possible if you would like a healthier recipe.

You can make this recipe healthier by using reduced-sodium chicken broth. Also, using low sodium soy sauce can help make this recipe healthier.

This recipe is made on a skillet on the stove.

Use a skillet that is large enough to hold all of the broccoli, shrimp and the other ingredients that will be added.
The broccoli should be thawed and drained.

Here is how to prepare the shirmp for this recipe.

The shrimp should be cool and uncooked (not frozen). Peel the shrimp and devein it as well.

  3. This recipe is made on a skillet over the stove. However, with a few modifications you could easily make this into a sheet pan recipe.
How to Clean Shrimp

How to Clean Shrimp

Here is how to clean your shrimp.

If your shrimp is frozen then rinse it under cool water to thaw it out.
Start by removing the legs (they are sticking out from the inside) by simply pulling them off.
If the head is intact then you can pull that off as well.

I use cool water that is slowly running for the next steps so that I can rinse the shrimp as I go.

Pull the shell off (you can keep the tail on for easier eating). Then use a pairing knife (be careful of course) to make a slit down the back of the shrimp to pull out the vein (aka the digestive track aka devein ). Discard the removed parts and be sure to keep your work area sanitary.

Here is how to make this recipe vegan tofu with broccoli instead.

Simply sub in cubed firm tofu for the shrimp.
Also, instead of the chicken broth, use a vegan broth such a one of these.
