Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw it properly before cooking.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil will help to enhance its flavor.
- Cook the broccoli properly: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy.
- Use a high-quality pasta: Using a high-quality pasta will make a big difference in the overall dish. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
- Finish the dish with Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a delicious, nutty flavor to the dish. You can also add other ingredients to the dish, such as red pepper flakes, lemon zest, or chopped parsley.
