  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 bag Fremont Fish Market Jumbo EZ Peel Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 whole lemon sliced
  • 1 whole lemon freshly juiced

  • 1 pouch Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice

Equipment

  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by cooking the Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice according to the package instructions.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets along with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and just tender but still crisp. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set it aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Carefully add the peeled and deveined shrimp, seasoning them with a little more salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Once the shrimp are cooked, return the broccoli to the skillet. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and toss everything together to coat in the buttery lemon sauce. Add the lemon slices for an extra burst of flavor. Cook for an additional minute just to heat everything through.
  5. Serve the Lemon Butter Shrimp and Broccoli over a bed of the cooked quinoa and brown rice. Garnish with extra lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to add more vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
  • For a different protein option, try chicken or tofu.
  • Add more crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.
