Tips for the garlic butter shrimp and broccoli recipe
- To make thegarlic butter shrimp, buy shrimp (or prawns) already deveined, shelled, and cleaned, and you have yourself such an easy recipe to prepare. Try as much as possible to buy wild-caught shrimp. Welike to use jumbo 16/20 size shrimp for this recipe.
- You can cook shrimp with tails on or off. We leave the tails on when wee make shrimp usually. It adds extra flavor and gives a nice presentation.
- You can save time when cooking broccoli florets by blanching them first in boiling water for 2 minutes then soak in ice water to stop cooking. Then you can saute the broccoli as per the recipe. You’ll get your broccoli crisp-tender quicker.
- Cut the broccoli into the same size pieces so they cook evenly.
Can we use frozen shrimp for this recipe?
Frozen shrimp is okay for this recipe, but fresh wild-caught shrimp tends to have better flavor.
How and how long to store the shrimp and broccoli leftovers?
You can keep the garlic butter shrimp and broccoli leftovers for 2 or 3 days in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator. To reheat, transfer toa skillet and reheat gently with a tablespoon or two of water to loosen the sauce. You can also use your microwave.

Added a dash of sesame oil, in lieu of vegetable broth, I used shrimp broth (boiling shrimp shell & tails), and a splash of white wine. Was delicious!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! I cooked the broccoli for longer as I like it softer and added some grated carrot to the mix. I will definitely be making this again.

OMG... I am popping my tongue right now giving you girlfriend fingersnaps. This Garlic butter Shrimp recipe is so darn good! For seasoning instead of salt and pepper, I used Slap yo Mama and some lemon pepper. I added onions and green peppers and to the shrimp I added sausage. For the sirracha sauce I used Old Bay pepper sauce. I know I veered away from the original recipe, but you gave me my base. Thank You. I am definitely following you for more recipes.
