Buttered-Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli

We are currently in the process of moving so boxes after boxes are every corner of this house. I’ve also packed most of my kitchen stuff except for a few items to use for our food for 2 days. We’re not into the take out yet but most probably on Thursday, we’ll be having pizza, . For now, I’ve planned simple dishes I could whip up in 30 minutes or so. Like this Buttered-Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli.

INGREDIENTS :
1 pack of shrimp, thawed and shelled
5 cloves of garlic, chopped finely
3 spoonfuls of butter
broccoli florets
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tbsp of water

Melt butter in a non stick pan. Sauté the shrimp for a minute or so. Add the chopped garlic. Stir and let that cook together. Season with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Add the water, and broccoli. Stir, then cook for 2-3 minutes. Try to retain the broccoli’s crunch and color.

Serve with rice or couscous.
