SPICY ROASTED SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI RABE

Spicy Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli Rabe image

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.

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3/4 pound broccoli rabe, tough bottom stems removed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, optional
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes, or to taste
3/4 pound large shrimp, peeled
1 teaspoon orange zest
Orange wedges, for serving

Steps:

Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the sesame oil if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon chile flakes. In a separate bowl, combine shrimp, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the orange zest, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon chile flakes.
Spread broccoli and shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing once or twice halfway through, until shrimp are just opaque and broccoli is tender and golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Serve with orange wedges.
