Recipe Review

Well, it seemed like a good idea, but lots of problems with this recipe.
- Parboiling the broc for only 1min, then shocking, is simply not enough to get cooked enough to be done in 8min in the oven. (My broc bit looked no bigger than the picture.)
- 8min in the oven is too much for the shrimp. (The recipe says 9 shrimp per serving, which was about what I had, so the size was okay.)

If I were to do this again, I'd parboil the broc much longer and do the shrimp&broc only 4-5min in the oven.

Even with this though, the flavor lacked something. Garlic would be a nice addition.

A lot of sriracha at the table helped it all.

Melissa Clark has a version of this recipe at the NY Times website and I think a couple of people have reviewed it here (including me) -- it is delicious, healthy, and requires no parboiling.

Thanks for this! Looks much better. Still think the 10 minutes for the shrimp looks too long, but overall this is much more sensible and tasty. :-)
