I find there are two ways to go about discovering new recipes. One is to stumble across the recipe, think to yourself “That sounds pretty good” and go out and get the ingredients. The other way is when you have a couple of ingredients on hand that you think would go well together so you google a recipe that includes both of them. Today’s offering falls in the second category. For some reason, I had been thinking about a recipe that would combine shrimp and broccoli. This was the first recipe I found and it was very tasty.
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion and garlic in butter and oil until tender. Add broccoli and salt; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 8 minutes. Add shrimp; cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer or until shrimp turn pink and broccoli is tender. Drain pasta; transfer to a serving bowl. Add the broccoli mixture; toss gently. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serves 4
