This delicious shrimp & broccoli bake is yummy and comes together in less than 30 minutes! It’s the perfect last-minute dinner recipe for a busy night!
If you read this blog regularly, you already know that I am a little obsessed with “cheater” freezer cooking. Not only are these simple meals quick & easy to throw together, they save us a ton of money on groceries (and especially on eating out.) Better yet, they make our sometimes hectic weekdays SO much simpler!
Even so, every now and then it’s fun to throw in something a little new and different into the mix. Thus, so while this yummy–and super simple–Shrimp and Broccoli bake is not a TRUE freezer recipe, it does call for frozen shrimp, which is usually more economical than fresh. The rest of this recipe comes together so quickly and with just a few ingredients.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; chop garlic and parsley and set aside.
Step 2: Zest lemon then juice and set aside.
Step 3: Melt 1/4 cup butter, then add garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and lemon zest and juice and saute for about 3 minutes.
Step 4: Par-cook broccoli in microwave and set aside.
Step 5: Melt rest of butter then add panko and mix well and lightly toast for a few minutes.
Step 6: Then place shrimp in 9 x 13 glass pan, add melted butter & garlic mixture. Mix well to coat all shrimp. Then place broccoli florets over shrimp. Add lightly toasted panko over top, cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then take cover off and bake for 5-7 more minutes until panko is golden brown.
Step 7: Spoon onto plate and serve with a side of rice.

Could have mentioned to toast Panko in a SEPARATE pan, I ruined it by adding the remaining butter to the rest of the sauté mix, because when it said ADD stupid me assumed it meant add it to where the first half went, a little clarity would help, no clue on how this could have tasted,
I wish I would have seen comments first. I did the same thing.
I added lemon pepper instead of salt and pepper. On the broccoli, I used cajun seasoning. It came out fantastic!!! Thanks for the recipe. I left out the red pepper flakes.
Hi! Just want to clarify you mean a 2 lb bag of raw shrimp? And I saw the other comment that it should be thawed when putting it in the pan, right? Thanks!
Yes, you want to make sure the shrimp is defrosted before you put it in the pan. :)
Oh yes! That looks so good and easy to make. I love shrimp and always looking for more recipes to try with it. You don't need to thaw out the frozen shrimp first?
Hi Cheryl,
You don't want your shrimp to be frozen solid when making this dish. Be sure to follow the package directions for defrosting. :)
Shrimp cooks quickly so it's a great ingredient to use when you want a quick and easy meal!
