Oven Baked Broccoli With Shrimps

Can add cauliflower as well ... Maybe cabbage too? 

Ingredient

Broccoli (can replace with cauliflower), cut into small florets

1 small onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, sliced

15 large shrimps, shelled and deveined. Season with some salt and pepper.

Any herbs you like to taste (This is totally optional. But I used ground oregon, dried basil leaf and dried rosemary since I already have them)

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

2 tablespoon olive oil

Canola oil and salt for blanching vegetable

Method

1) Heat enough water in pot to cover broccoli. Once boiling, add 1 tablespoon canola oil and 2 teaspoon salt into the water. Oil can prevent broccoli to brown and salt can allow broccoli to soak up some taste.

2) Then add in broccoli and boil till slightly soft (my girls like the vegetable softer). Dish out and drained.
* Can skip step 1 if you like the broccoli crunchy but must bake longer. I have not tested without step 1 though.
** Can also steam instead of boiling the broccoli if you worried losing the nutrition.

3) Put broccoli into an oven-proved dish. Add in onion, garlic, chosen herbs, remaining olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Mixed well. Then sprinkle a little water all over.

4) Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree C for 10min (I cover the dish with aluminium foil to prevent the vegetables from burning too much).

5) Add in shrimps, cover and continue to bake for another 10min.

6) Serve with warm rice ... yummy!
