Shrimp with Broccoli
Ingredients
⅔ cup bottled clam juice, or reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon minced garlic, divided
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound raw shrimp, (21-25 per pound), peeled and deveined (see Ingredient note)
¼ teaspoon salt, divided
4 cups broccoli florets
⅔ cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or parsley
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Lemon wedges
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions:
Combine clam juice (or broth), cornstarch and half the garlic in a small bowl; whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining garlic and crushed red pepper to taste; cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Saute until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Add the remaining 1½ teaspoons oil to the pan. Add broccoli and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add water, cover and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp.
Add the reserved clam juice mixture to the pan and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in basil (or parsley) and season with lemon juice and pepper. Add the shrimp and broccoli; heat through. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
