Garlic and butter find their way back together in a delicious scampi meal that would be equally at home in a seafood restaurant. You’ll season the shrimp with our lemony herbed spice blend, then all it takes is a couple of minutes to pan-cook them to pink with butter, garlic and lemon. Gemelli is tossed with cream until sumptuously saucy, and served alongside tender florets of tangy lemon-spritzed broccoli. Welcome to a wonderful weeknight.

Preparation
Mise en place
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Roughly chop the broccoli. Zest and juice the lemon. Mince the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.
Boil the pasta & broccoli
Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 10 to 12 min., until al dente. In the final 2 min., add the broccoli. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Reserve the pot.
Cook & coat the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with ½ the spices and S&P. In a large pan (non-stick if possible), heat 2 tbsp butter on medium. Add the shrimp* and cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through. Add ⅔ of the lemon juice and ⅓ of the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add 1 tbsp butter and ½ the parsley; stir well.
Make the sauce & combine the pasta
In the reserved pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the cream and reserved cooking water (start with ⅓). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until the sauce has thickened. Add the pasta and broccoli, the remaining spices and lemon juice, the lemon zest and S&P; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the pasta between your bowls. Top with the shrimp. Garnish with the remaining parsley and freshly cracked black pepper. Bon appétit!
