SHRIMP SCAMPI BROCCOLI RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and broccoli and cook according to package directions for al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup liquid before draining.
• Drain orzo and broccoli in a colander and add the oil to the pot over medium heat.
• Add the garlic and cook until golden, 30 seconds. Return the drained orzo and stir to combine all.
• Add 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid, or more as needed and cook 1 minute, stirring.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt butter and oil over medium heat.  When the butter is melted, add garlic and sauté 30 seconds.
• Add shrimp and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook 2 minutes, flip, then add another 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
• Remove from heat and add red pepper (if using), lemon juice, and parsley.  Toss to evenly coat.
• To serve, divide the shrimp and sauce over 3/4 cup orzo.

Steps:

• Place shrimp into a saucepan, cover with water to a depth of 2 inches over shrimp, and bring to a boil. Cover pan and cook until shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
