Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli


This was so easy and so, so good! This was similar to the roasted broccoli side dish that Colin is in love with and I'll definitely be making this one again.

2 lbs. broccoli, cut into florets (with some stem still attached)
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1 lb. large shrimp, shelled and deveined (fresh or frozen)
Lemon zest from one lemon
White rice

Preheat oven to 425. In a medium bowl, toss together broccoli, 2 tablespoons olive oil, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper and chili powder. In another bowl, toss together shrimp with 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon zest, and a dash of salt and pepper. Place the shrimp and broccoli in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast 10-15 minutes or until hot and sizzling. While roasting, prepare some white rice. When shrimp and broccoli are done, serve over cooked rice, sprinkle with lemon juice and top with lemon slices.
