Spicy Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
2 large heads of broccoli
4 T olive oil
1/2 t ground cumin*
1/2 t ground coriander*
1/2 t chili flakes*
1 t kosher salt
1 t black pepper
20 large raw shrimp, shelled and deveined
zest from 1 lemon + remaining lemon cut into quarters
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large bowl combine the broccoli with 2 tablespoons of oil, cumin, coriander, 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In another bowl, mix together the shrimp with the remaining chili flakes, salt and pepper, olive oil and all the lemon zest.
Add the broccoli onto a prepared cookie sheet (lined with either parchment paper or silpat) in one layer and roast for 10 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook for 10 minutes more – tossing once at the midway mark. When the broccoli is golden and crispy and the shrimp is opaque, remove from oven. Serve over rice and squeeze (this is a must!) with lemon juice. Serves 2 very happy people.

* I found the spices a little too bold; I’d cut them in half in the future.
