Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli


My husband and I absolutely love this recipe and I usually make it once a week. It's my go to meal and perfect for nights when I don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. Our favorite part of this meal is the amazing sauce that we pour over steamed rice. Our rice steamer is one of the best gifts we've received (thanks Dad and Nancy!) and we use it all the time. If you don't have one, I would highly recommended it.
