Description

Imagine a plate graced with succulent, butterflied shrimp, each piece glistening with a rich, savory glaze. This dish is an ode to simple flavors, elevated by careful preparation and harmonious pairings. The shrimp, tender and juicy, offer a delightful sweetness complemented by a whisper of oceanic brine.

The buttery glaze, infused with subtle seasonings, enhances the natural taste of the shrimp, creating a truly irresistible main course. The preparation involves butterflying the shrimp to maximize surface area, allowing for even cooking and optimal flavor absorption. A quick sauté on the stovetop ensures a perfectly cooked, tender result every time.

Accompanying these delectable shrimp are sides designed to complement and enhance the overall dining experience. Picture tender broccoli florets, lightly coated in butter and seasoned to perfection. The broccoli, with its slightly earthy undertones, provides a refreshing counterpoint to the richness of the shrimp.

Each bite offers a satisfying textural contrast – the slight resistance of the florets against the soft, yielding shrimp. Completing this culinary symphony is a creamy, comforting smashed cauliflower, reminiscent of parmesan in flavor but entirely unique in its own right. The cauliflower is cooked until incredibly tender, then gently smashed and seasoned to create a side dish that is both flavorful and satisfying.

Its subtle sweetness and creamy texture provide a wonderful base, allowing the shrimp and broccoli to truly shine. This meal is a celebration of simple ingredients, transformed into something truly special through careful preparation and thoughtful pairings. The buttery shrimp, tender broccoli, and creamy smashed cauliflower create a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you feeling completely satisfied.

It’s a delightful meal that’s both elegant and approachable, perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The ease of preparation, with the option to overlap cooking times for the side dishes, makes this a convenient and enjoyable cooking experience from start to finish. Enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures in every bite.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 375 degrees. On a small sheet tray, drizzle the first amount of olive oil. Arrange THAWED broccoli florets on top of the olive oil and sprinkle the seasoned salt over the florets.
    2.
    Bake the broccoli for 15 min. Then, remove the tray and toss the broccoli in the olive oil and seasoning. Cut the first amount of butter into 3-4 pieces and arrange on top of the broccoli.
    3.
    Bake the broccoli tray for an additional 7 minutes, or 22 minutes total baking.
    4.
    To prepare the raw cauliflower, arrange large chunky florets on their heads on a separate small sheet tray. Drizzle approx. ½ t of olive oil over each floret. Then, sprinkle the salt and pepper over the florets.
    5.
    Bake the cauliflower for 25 minutes. Then, remove the tray from the oven and use a fork to smash each floret down. Sprinkle a ½ t of parmesan over each smashed floret.
    6.
    Bake the cauliflower for an additional 10 minutes. Set the cooked broccoli and cauliflower aside to stay warm until serving time.
    7.
    In a large pan, drizzle 10, ¼-tsp portions of olive oil in the base. Prepare the jumbo shrimp by peeling and deveining, if necessary. Butterfly the shrimp and place one shrimp tail-up in each portions of olive oil. Sprinkle the lemon pepper, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper over the shrimp.
    8.
    Cook the shrimp without disturbing them over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Then, pour just a drip of worcestershire sauce over each shrimp so it sizzles and infuses.
    9.
    Reduce the heat to low and add the final amount of butter into the pan, letting it melt. The shrimp should naturally release from your pan as you toss them around in the butter. Cook and toss until the tails are completely pink and the heads have a slight golden crispness to them.
    10.
    Serve 5 pc of shrimp with fair portions of the buttered broccoli and smashed cauliflower.
