SPICY ROASTED SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI RABE
This dish uses one of my favorite techniques for cooking just about anything quickly: high-heat roasting. All you do is spread seasoned protein and vegetables out on one rimmed baking sheet and roast everything at the same time. Here I've paired shrimp with broccoli rabe, which cook in about 10 minutes flat.
