Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds broccoli cut into florets
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1.5 pounds large raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 1 whole lemon zest first, then cut into wedges
  • 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
  • 4 tablespoons fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with 4 tablespoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt, then spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet with flat sides down for best caramelization.
  • Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  • While the broccoli roasts, combine the shrimp, remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon zest, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, and minced garlic in a medium bowl; toss to coat and let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  • When the broccoli has roasted 15 minutes, add the marinated shrimp to the baking sheet and gently spread so everything is in a single layer.
  • Roast an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and no longer translucent.
  • Remove from the oven, grate the fresh Parmesan over the shrimp and broccoli, and serve with lemon wedges.
