Roasted Broccoli and Shrimp

Last week, I was not in the mood to cook at all and I had stumbled upon a really great recipe on here that I figured I'd try. By far the easiest, quickest, thing to make which is obviously healthy and absolutely delicious!

Ingredients:
1 lb of peeled, deveined shrimp (you can marinate before hand if you want but not necessary)
Few heads of broccoli cut up into florets (I like to keep the stem..makes it really good!)
1 tsp Whole Coriander seeds
1 tsp Cumin seeds
Lemon and lemon zest
Red Chili Power (optional and add to your liking of heat)
1 tsp Garlic Power
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Pepper
3 Tbsp Olive Oil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place the florets on a foil covered cookie sheet and coat with 2 Tbs olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic power, red chili powder, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds. Once fully tossed with these ingredients, stick it in the oven for 10 minutes.


While broccoli cooks in the oven for these 10 minutes, toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil, 1 tsp of lemon zest, and the juice of half of a lemon. After the 10 minutes are up, add the shrimp onto the same cookie sheet as the broccoli and toss carefully all together. 



Roast this mixture for another 10 minutes and voila!! Dinner is ready!! You can choose to serve this over rice or some soba noodles if you choose, but it tasted pretty good on its own to me!! 


This is fool proof and comes out perfect every time!! Enjoy!!
