Lemon, shrimp and broccoli

Quick. Easy. Healthy. 3 things important to me during the week after work for dinner. This dish took about 15 minutes and was delicious! 


You will need:

• 1/2 lb of shrimp PER PERSON 
    (Cleaned and deveined)
• 2 lemons, zest and juiced 
• 1 lb of multi-grain angle hair pasta
• 1 head of fresh broccoli 
• olive oil
• salt, pepper and chili flakes 
• splash of white wine
• 5-6 cloves of garlic, minced


Heat your pain on medium heat/flame. Drizzle a few tablespoons of oil, and sauté the broccoli for approximately 5-6 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and shrimp and cook for another 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper, chili flakes, lemon zest, juice to the shrimp and broccoli and stir. Add a splash of white wine and continue to simmer. 
Meanwhile, boil a pot of salted water to cook the pasta. Cook according to directions on package. Once drained, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and top pasta with the shrimp and broccoli. Don't forget to pour that lemon garlic sauce over it! 


Enjoy!
