Method
 

  1. Begin by cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Rinse them under cold water and set aside to drain.
  2. In a microwave, heat the Simply Nature Organic 90 Second Quinoa and Brown Rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, seasoning them with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set it aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the Fremont Fish Market Jumbo EZ Peel Shrimp to the skillet, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until they are pink and opaque.
  5. Once the shrimp is cooked, add the sliced lemon and freshly juiced lemon to the skillet. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Return the sautéed broccoli to the skillet, tossing everything together. Make sure the broccoli is well-coated in the lemon butter sauce. Cook for another minute to heat through.
  7. Serve the Lemon Butter Shrimp and Broccoli over the prepared quinoa and brown rice. Enjoy your meal while it's hot and fresh!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in the skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out.
  • This dish is not recommended for freezing as the shrimp can become tough when thawed.
