Estimated, not verified. These numbers are calculated from typical ingredient data and haven't been checked against a lab or your brands. Check the labels of what you buy and confirm anything that matters to you, especially sodium, sugar and allergens.

* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 220 °C / 425 °F. Thaw the shrimp if frozen and pat them dry.

  2. Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Mince the garlic.

  3. Toss the broccoli on the sheet pan with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt. Spread it out. Roast 10 minutes.

    Done looks like: Edges of the florets starting to brown.
  4. Toss the shrimp with the rest of the oil, the garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.

  5. Push the broccoli to the sides and add the shrimp in one layer. Roast 6–8 minutes.

    Done looks like: Shrimp pink and opaque, curled into a loose C, 63 °C / 145 °F. Broccoli tips charred.
  6. Squeeze over the lemon juice and scatter the parmesan.

Equipment

Rimmed sheet pan (half sheet) $12–25

What to look for

  • Heavy aluminum that does not warp in a hot oven
  • Rim all the way round so juices stay in

Skip: Dark non-stick sheet pans; they burn the bottoms of vegetables.

Chef's knife, 20 cm (8 in) $15–50

What to look for

  • Comfortable handle that does not slip when wet
  • Blade you can sharpen, or a cheap one you replace every few years

Skip: Knife blocks with 12 knives. A chef's knife and a small paring knife cover almost everything.

Cutting board $10–30

What to look for

  • At least 30 × 40 cm (12 × 16 in), so food stays on it
  • Wood or plastic; plastic goes in the dishwasher

Skip: Glass or stone boards. They dull knives fast.

Silicone spatula $5–12

What to look for

  • One-piece (no seam where the head meets the handle)
  • Stiff enough to scrape, safe on non-stick

Skip: Wooden spatulas for non-stick pans; they work but do not scrape as cleanly.
