How to Easily Make Shrimp And Broccoli Linguine

Shrimp and broccoli linguine is one of those dishes that is quite easy to make and leaves a great impression. I like to use fresh shrimp and broccoli, but this recipe works quite well with frozen shrimp and broccoli. I make this recipe year round and since I am not that far from the coast, I use fresh shrimp that is trucked up here almost daily in the summer. The local farmer's market is a great place to pick up fresh broccoli and other produce.

Things You'll Need

• 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined (frozen is fine)
• 1 pkg. frozen broccoli florets (or fresh will work just fine)
• 1/4 c butter or margarine
• 1/4 c olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 pkg. of linguine noodles

Instructions

1. 

   Simmer shrimp in melted butter and olive oil. Meanwhile, cook broccoli according to package directions. Broccoli should be firm, not mushy.

2. Cut broccoli apart, chop your garlic, and add to shrimp. Simmer until shrimp are pink. Do not overcook. I cannot stress this enough as overcooking will make your shrimp tough!

3. 

   Cook noodles according to pkg directions; drain. Pour shrimp and broccoli over noodles and serve.

Tips & Warnings

• Be very careful not to overcook your shrimp as they will become tough. Tough shrimp will definitely take away from your Shrimp and Broccoli Linguine dish.
