Cooking Steps
  1. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, pour a large drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the broccoli with a large sprinkle of salt and pepper.
  2. Cook the broccoli for about 5 minutes until softer and has some charred bits. Transfer to a separate dish and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium and then add another large drizzle of olive oil. Add the raw shrimp and sprinkle with salt and paprika. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until cooked through, then transfer to the same dish as the broccoli and set aside.
  4. In the same pan on medium heat, add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about a minute. Then add the Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, mixing together and cooking for another minute.
  5. Add the lemon slices to the butter sauce, then add the broccoli and shrimp back into the pan. Mix everything together, ensuring it is covered in the butter sauce. Add a large squeeze of lemon juice over everything.
  6. Serve immediately.
