Method

  1. 1

    Begin by preparing your ingredients: if using frozen shrimps, thaw them completely under cold running water, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Cut the fresh broccoli into bite-sized florets, ensuring even pieces for consistent cooking.

  2. 2

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and beautifully charred at the edges, releasing its sweet, earthy aroma.

  3. 3

    While the broccoli roasts, prepare the vibrant, zesty drizzle. In a small bowl, whisk together the Heinz Garlic Mayo with 2 tablespoons of water, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. This will be the creamy highlight of your bowl.

  4. 4

    Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the dried shrimps in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Listen for the satisfying sizzle as they hit the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Cook the shrimps for 1-2 minutes per side, just until they turn a beautiful opaque pink and develop a delicate golden sear. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make them tough. Season them immediately with salt and a generous grind of black pepper, enhancing their natural sweetness.

  6. 6

    To assemble your healthy power bowls, divide the perfectly roasted broccoli and the succulent, seared shrimps evenly between two serving bowls. Admire the contrasting colors and textures.

  7. 7

    Finish each bowl with a lavish drizzle of the prepared zesty garlic mayo sauce. Serve immediately, allowing the steam to rise from the fresh, vibrant ingredients, promising a burst of flavor in every bite.

👩‍🍳 Chef's tip

For an extra layer of flavor, a squeeze of fresh lime juice can brighten both the shrimp and the sauce, though it's optional. Don't overcrowd your pan when cooking shrimp; cook in batches if necessary to ensure a proper sear. The broccoli can be steamed instead of roasted for a softer texture.
