Shrimp and Broccoli Packs with Garlic Lemon Butter Sauce

Super tasty shrimp meal in under 30 minutes

Ingredients

Raw shrimp - 1.5 lbs (peeled and deveined, tail-on or tail-off)

Butter - 2 TBSP, diced (or use olive oil)
Minced garlic - 1 TBSP
Italian seasoning - 1 tsp or to taste
Onion powder - 1/4 tsp
Chicken stock - 2 TBSP

Paprika - 1/4 tsp

Salt and pepper, to taste
Red chili pepper flakes, optional
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Broccoli - 1 large head, broken into florets

Fresh chopped parsley, optional for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
2. Cut 2 sheets of 14 by 12-inch parchment paper, and lay each piece separately on the large baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the spice mix: Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Add shrimp and sprinkle with the spice mix, coating on all sides.

4. Divide shrimp onto the parchment paper near the center then place broccoli florets to one side of the shrimp.
5. Add garlic over broccoli and shrimp, then sprinkle with lemon juice, red crushed chili pepper flakes (if using) and finish with salt and pepper. Divide butter pieces evenly among the foil packets, layering them over the shrimp and broccoli.

6. Add a tablespoon chicken stock in each packet and wrap packets in and staple the edges together. Don’t wrap too tight – keep a little extra space inside for heat to circulate.

7. Bake shrimp packets in the oven, sealed side upward until shrimps have cooked through, about 15 minutes. Cooking time depends on the size of your shrimps. Do not overcook shrimps or they’ll end up dried up.
8. Carefully unwrap the baked shrimp and broccoli foil packets then garnish with fresh parsley and a slice of lemon. Enjoy!
