Ingredients
- 1 large bunch broccoli, about 1 1/2 pounds
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce, (recommended: sriracha) or to taste
- Serving suggestion: grilled shrimp (see Cook's Note)
Directions
Put a pot of water on to boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
Cut the broccoli into florets. When the water is boiling, add the broccoli. Cook for 30 seconds. Immediately drain and add them to the bowl of ice water. When cool, drain well.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. When it is warm, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until toasted, do not let it burn. Add the broccoli, toss to coat with the oil and garlic, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the chicken stock and hot chili sauce, raise the heat to high, and cook until the broccoli is just tender, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with grilled shrimp, if using.
Cook's Note: Marinate 1 pound of large peeled shrimp in lemon zest, garlic, olive oil, and some chopped basil, parsley, or cilantro for about 1 hour. Grill until cooked through.

Super yummy!!!!! I love spicy food but the rest of my family doesnt. This recipe is perfect because it was just a hint of spicy but not over powering just the flavor. I added more crushed red peppers after to the meal only on my plate. Also i sauteed the shrimp in with the broccoli and i steamed the broccoli instead of boil so i could keep nutrients/vitamins in the food! Great! I will definitely do it again. My entire family loved it.
