Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F and position the racks in the upper-middle area.
Tip: A hot oven ensures crispy broccoli with tender edges.
- 2
Spread the broccoli florets on a large baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with half the salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan—broccoli needs space to roast properly.
- 3
Roast the broccoli for 8 minutes until it begins to caramelize at the edges.
- 4
While the broccoli roasts, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Mix with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, remaining salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Tip: Dry shrimp will brown better and develop a nice crust.
- 5
Remove the broccoli from the oven and create space by pushing it to the sides of the sheet. Add the shrimp mixture to the center in a single layer.
- 6
Return to the oven and roast for 6-7 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, stirring gently halfway through.
Tip: Shrimp cooks quickly—watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
- 7
Remove from oven and immediately squeeze fresh lemon juice over the entire sheet. Toss everything gently to combine.
Tip: Add lemon juice after cooking to preserve its bright flavor.

Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser. The combination of tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and a cold Corona creates something that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
