Ingredients

Step 1:

Wash and chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets.
Peel and devein the shrimp if they aren’t already prepared.
Mince the garlic finely to release its aromatic oils.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add olive oil once the pan is hot but not smoking. Swirl to coat evenly.
Step 3: Cook the Shrimp
Spread the shrimp in a single layer across the skillet.
Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Step 4: Sauté the Broccoli
Reduce the heat slightly and add minced garlic to the same pan.
Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Toss in the broccoli florets and sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 5: Combine and Season
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.

Stir in soy sauce and red pepper flakes, adjusting amounts based on your preference.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Transfer the dish to a serving platter or individual plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
