What kind of shrimp should I use?

You need raw shrimp, wild-caught is preferred, that is peeled and deveined with the tail on if possible. Feel free to substitute fresh, or completely peeled frozen. As it turned out, a fourth of my shrimp didn’t have tails anyway!

What if I cannot find broccolini?

Look for broccolini, broccoli rabe, or baby broccoli. Different stores have different names. If all else fails, substitute fresh broccoli and separate the florets.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen, large shrimp.
  • Substitute broccoli or broccoli rabe for the broccolini if needed.
  • I personally would not use frozen broccoli. It will add too much water to the pan while it cooks.
