Instructions:
- Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets.

- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the broccoli starts to become tender but still crisp.
- Add the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly with the spices.

- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the center of the skillet.
- Add the shrimps to the center and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimps turn pink and are fully cooked.
- Toss the broccoli back together with the shrimp ensuring everything is well mixed.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves and stir well to combine with the shrimp and broccoli.
- Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
- Garnish with lemon slices.
- Your Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot, perhaps with rice or noodles on the side if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to get a good sear.
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.
- Preheat your pan before adding the olive oil to prevent the ingredients from sticking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while cooking the shrimp; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.
- Adjust the seasoning to taste; if you prefer less spice, reduce the chili powder.
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds while stir-frying.
Your Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry is now ready to be served! Enjoy this savory and slightly spicy dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon. It's perfect on its own or served over a bed of rice or noodles for a more filling meal. Happy cooking!
