Preparation
Sauté the vegetables
Halve the broccoli if large. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the tomatoes, broccoli, 1 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), ⅓ of the spices and S&P. Sauté, 5 to 7 min., until softened and slightly browned.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the lemon; juice ½ and cut the remaining ½ into 2 wedges.
Make the sauce
In a second large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the cream, lemon juice, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions), ½ the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Cook & coat the shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P. To the pan of sauce, add the shrimp and spinach. Cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until the shrimp* are opaque, cooked through and coated and the spinach has wilted.
Plate your dish
Divide the vegetables between your plates. Top with the shrimp and sauce. Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking shellfish to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
