Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Zest the lemon and set zest aside, then cut the lemon into wedges.
  3. Place the 1.5 pounds broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 4 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and toss to coat. Arrange the florets in a single layer with any flat/cut sides facing down.
  4. Roast the broccoli in the oven for 15 minutes.
  5. While the broccoli roasts, combine the 1.5 pounds shrimp, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the reserved lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, and the 2 cloves minced garlic in a medium bowl. Toss to coat and let sit 10–15 minutes while the broccoli cooks.
  6. After the broccoli has roasted 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the shrimp to the sheet and arrange them in a single layer among the broccoli.
  7. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are no longer translucent and are cooked through (opaque and firm).
  8. Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle the 4 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese over the shrimp and broccoli. Serve with the lemon wedges.
