Description

Garlic Butter Shrimp with Broccoli Rice is a flavorful low-carb dish that combines tender shrimp with nutritious broccoli rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 4 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by pulsing the broccoli florets in a food processor until they resemble rice-sized pieces. In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the broccoli rice to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. If desired, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

2. In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.

3. Reduce the heat to low, then add the butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet with the cooked shrimp. Stir the mixture until the butter has melted and the shrimp are well coated.

4. To serve, place the Broccoli Rice on a plate or in a bowl, then top it with the Garlic Butter Shrimp. Garnish the dish with the chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice (if desired).
