Spicy Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli Rabe

By Marylee

In What’s for Dinner?, a column appearing every other week on Diner’s Journal, Melissa Clark answers that universal question, offering recipes for simple, relatively quick dishes that use ingredients you can pick up on the way home.

Ingredients

• 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

Preparation

Step 1

Method
1. 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.
2. 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.
