Notes
Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes for a deeper flavor.
I like to use jumbo 16/20 size shrimp for this recipe, but you could use any size. The smaller ones will cook a bit faster depending on the size of your shrimp.
I leave the shrimp tails on. It adds more flavor and looks prettier, but you can remove them if you want.
I use fresh broccoli, but you can use frozen. Just make sure to thaw them first and pat them dry before cooking.
