Ingredients
- ½ lb shrimp *
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups pasta
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp rosemary dried
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 3 cups broccolini or broccoli chopped
- 3 tbsp mild harissa
- 1 large avocado
Optional Garnish
- fresh basil
- parmesan
Instructions
- Step one: Boil your pasta, be sure to salt the water. Next sauté your broccolini or broccoli in oil on high/medium heat. Cover in a pan for about 10 minutes or until it is tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- Step two: Set broccoli to the side. Be sure to pat shrimp with a towel to wick up access moisture. Mix seasonings together in a small bowl. Wipe the pan and in the same pan you cooked the broccoli in, add olive oil. Cook on medium/high heat add in thawed shrimp and sprinkle seasoning over shrimp. Toss shrimp in seasoning and cook for about 8 minutes or until shrimp is light pick and cooked all the way through. Be sure to toss often. Each side of shrimp should be cooked 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step three: once shrimp is finished cooking, set aside and drain pasta. Add in Harissa a pinch of salt and a pinch of olive oil. Stir together well. Serve with shrimp on the side or mixed in and broccolini with avocado slices.
- Top with optional garnish: Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Notes
* any shrimp will work, I usually go for medium peeled shrimp. Raw will take 8 minutes to cook. Pre cooked will take about 6 minutes to heat through.
*if you are sensitive to spice, be sure to pick up the milk harissa linked above from Amazon.
