I don't eat Shrimp or any kind of seafood really. Although, I do eat Salmon occasionally. Growing up, seafood was not something my Mom would make for a family dinner. Mainly because she knew we wouldn't eat it.

Garlicky Shrimp, Chicken and Broccoli

I took a cooking class that taught me how to handle and make shrimp and fish dishes. One of the questions the Chef asked us was "what is your favorite fish to eat?" My answer was "none". She then asked me why I was in the class. My answer is simple "my family loves seafood and I want to know how to make seafood dishes for them".

This is what you need

I listened intently to all of the instructions during that class. My favorite take away from that class was that you can swap out or add chicken to most shrimp and some fish recipes. That gives me so many more options when looking for new recipes to try.

Looking Good!

I changed a few things and of course added some chicken to this recipe to make it my own. I made this recipe in my cast iron skillet. I served it over white rice and it was so good. Let me know if you try it!
