- 4 cups broccoli florets cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon zest from about 1 large lemon
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice about 1/2 a lemon

Notes
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery. Make-Ahead: You can prepare the marinade (oil, garlic, lemon, spices) and chop the broccoli up to 1 day in advance. Store separately and combine just before roasting. Variations: Add sliced bell peppers or cherry tomatoes to the pan for extra vegetables. Substitute chicken breast chunks (cook for 20-25 minutes) for a different protein. For a dairy-free option, this recipe is naturally compliant. Serve with a side of lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
