Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they're pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
2
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Pour in the lemon juice and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until it's slightly reduced and syrupy.
3
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, toss to coat with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4
To serve, place the cooked shrimp on top of the broccoli, spoon some of the garlic butter sauce over the shrimp. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
