Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli

1. Roast the Broccoli

Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon of pepper, and the hot chili powder. Toss until the broccoli is well coated with the spices and oil, then spread it evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to allow the edges to become golden and slightly crispy.

2. Add the Shrimp

While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the shrimp. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. After the broccoli has roasted for 10 minutes, add the seasoned shrimp to the baking sheet, mixing everything together to ensure even cooking. Continue roasting for an additional 10 minutes, giving the shrimp a toss halfway through. The shrimp are done when they turn opaque and tender.

3. Serve the Dish

Serve the roasted shrimp and broccoli with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and additional lemon wedges on the side. The citrus brightness adds a refreshing touch that complements the savory roasted flavors.
