Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli


I was in search for the "best roasted broccoli recipe" so I googled it and came across the Amateur Gourmet website and her prized roasted broccoli.  I taste tested and it was a winner in my book!

Ingredients
2 pounds of broccoli cut up into florets
4 Tbs olive oil (divided)
1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds (or 1/2 tsp. ground)
1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds (or 1/2 tsp. ground)
1/8th tsp hot chili powder
salt and pepper
1 pound large shrimp, shelled and deveined
lemon zest from one lemon

Instructions:
1. Heat the oven to 425.
2. On a large cookie sheet, toss together broccoli florets, 2 T. olive oil, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, 1/8th tsp hot chili powder and salt and pepper. Spread into a single layer and pop into the oven for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, toss together shrimp, 2 T. olive oil, lemon zest and salt and pepper in a bowl. When the broccoli’s been in the oven 10 minutes, add the shrimp to the broccoli and toss (carefully.)
3. Roast another 10 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and golden around the edges.

I served it with brown rice and squeezed some lemon on top.
