Cooking with Morgan: Garlic Lemon Shrimp and Broccoli
Tom and Steve stocked the house with burgers and hot dogs and chili for their B-movie-marathon this past weekend, so I cooked only for me and left me to cook lighter than I normally do when I am trying to feed both Tom and I (yeah, trying to feed a 6′5″ man and myself is an interesting balance). I put together this dish:
Garlic Lemon Shrimp and Brocolli
Ingredients
1. Lemon juice – fresh squeezed or from a bottle
2. Chopped garlic
3. Uncooked shrimp – fresh or frozen
4. Head of broccoli, chopped up to the size you’d like your clumps
5. Salt, pepper, and bay leaves.
6. Shredded Parmesan cheese.
1. Start steaming the broccoli. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the broccoli and splash a little olive oil on it, rub everything together.
2. Spill just enough olive oil into a small pan to cover the bottom, add chopped garlic, let simmer. Add enough water to give about 2 inches of depth, and then salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil. Add the shrimp. I used frozen, so I cooked it until the water boiled again and then for about 2 minutes after.
3. Once broccoli is steamed, squeeze lemon juice over it. Spread on plate, add shrimp to the mix and then squeeze more lemon juice on top. Finally, sprinkle Parmesan over the whole mix of it.
