During my restaurant days, just about any recipe including shrimp was a hit. And Shrimp and Broccoli was always a customer favorite. And you’re not going to believe how easy it is to make.
It might be the addition of broccoli that makes this dish seem healthier. Fresh vegetables always make a recipe pop with color and flavor. And the truth is if a dish looks better its going to taste better. It’s often been said we eat with our eyes. So the first impression is important.

- spinach

- mixed vegetables
you can use any single vegetable or combine your favorites. In one of the restaurants, I worked at we use to make match stick vegetables out of carrots, zucchini, yellow squash and red peppers. The vegetables were always crisp, fresh and colorful! It made quite an impression when served.
Can I make this dish with Chicken?
Yes you can. Chicken tenders cut in smaller pieces would make a delicious dish. You could also use scallops or chunks of salmon or your favorite fish.

I know some people get furious when ratings and reviews are from those who don’t follow the recipe exactly, but I prefer such and that is what I offer. I didn’t have artichoke hearts, but added mini sweet peppers sautéed with th mushrooms. This was very tasty and quick. I cooked the broccoli in the pasta water, scooped them out, then added angel hair pasta.Reply

Is the calorie count for two servings or one? Based on the ingredients, it seems really high.

the pasta and artichokes add a good portion of the calories. It’s based on one serving

I used canned in juice. I don’t like the ones in oil for this dish.
