Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice divided
  • 2 Tbsp honey preferably local
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 12-oz/340g bag frozen broccoli florets
  • ½ medium red onion sliced
  • 1 16-oz/ 450g box penne pasta
  • 1 lb 450g shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail removed
  • 2 tsp fresh lemon zest preferably organic
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated, divided
  • 2 Tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper non-stick baking mat and set aside.
  • Whisk together olive oil, two tablespoons lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine. Set aside.




    Dressing Ingredients
  • Whisking the dressing
  • Combine broccoli and red onion in a large bowl and pour two-thirds of the lemony olive oil mixture on top. Toss until vegetables are evenly coated before spreading into a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.


    Broccoli and Onion on Baking Sheet
  • Place baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are crisp-tender and starting to brown on the edges.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the pasta according to package directions in generously salted water. When pasta is finished cooking, reserve one-half cup of the cooking liquid and set aside. Drain and rinse the pasta, then return to the pot. Cover to keep warm and set aside.


  • Just before the vegetables are removed from the oven, toss the shrimp with the remaining olive oil mixture in the same mixing bowl used earlier. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired, and set aside.
  • After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the vegetables using a spatula. Add the seasoned shrimp to the baking sheet and carefully spread the shrimp and vegetables into a single layer without overcrowding.


    Adding Shrimp to Baking Sheet
  • Return to the oven and roast for another 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through and opaque. Do not overcook.
  • Remove from the oven and pour the roasted shrimp and vegetables into the pot with the cooked pasta.


  • Add the remaining lemon juice, lemon zest, half the Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and the reserved cooking liquid. Season with additional salt and black pepper, if desired, and toss to combine.




    Adding Pasta Water to Pot
  • Adding Parmesan to Pasta Pot
  • Serve immediately topped with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
