Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4
Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the lemon juice, chicken broth, and heavy cream to the skillet and stir to combine.
5
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce. Add the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.
6
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the pasta and sauce. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
