Description
Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli Pasta is a bright 25-minute dinner with garlicky shrimp, broccoli, & fire-roasted tomatoes tossed with pasta & Parmesan!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz. high fiber pasta
- 1.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 lemon (juice)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 14 oz. diced fire roasted tomatoes, drained
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and set aside.
- Step 2: In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Begin cooking the shrimp in batches, about 2 minutes on each side until you have cooked them all. Set aside.
- Step 3: Add the broccoli, chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic to the pan. Cook for about 7 minutes until it reduces by half and broccoli is tender.
- Step 4: Lower the heat to medium and add the shrimp, tomatoes, and drained pasta. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed. Top with Parmesan.
Notes
Buy shrimp that’s already peeled and deveined and use pre-cut broccoli florets to save time. Draining the fire-roasted tomatoes prevents the sauce from becoming too thin.
