The Daily Balance

So we made the Lemon Garlic Shrimp and Chickpea dish and now we all have a half bag of shrimp chillin’ in the fridge — what now?

Simple.

Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli

This dish is just as easy as the chickpea creation, but with different flavorings and veggies so you don’t get sick of eating shrimp two days in a row!

You’ll need (makes two “Mister-friendly” entrees):

• 1 head of broccoli – chopped
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (left over from yesterday!)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt + pepper (pinch)
• 1 pound of shrimp

First, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add broccoli and onion to a roasting dish and toss with one tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and onion powder.

Bake for about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Take the tails off your shrimp (they are annoying and disruptive when eating!) and toss with one tablespoon of olive oil, lemon joice and oregano. Set aside.

Once broccoli is finished, remove from oven and top with shrimp mixture. Cook about 5 more minutes.

Wash your hands, remove your apron and marvel at just how easy it is to be a domestic god(dess) I don’t know about you, but I am LOVING this one-dish dinners.

Enjoy!

Still impressed with my meal-planning? Join in next week! You’ll need four tilapia fillets (the best deals are often found in frozen seafood section – one bag usually contains six fillets!) to serve two people, two completely different meals. (if serving more than two people, purchase two fillets per person.) I’ll share the remaining ingredients you’ll need at the end of the week.
