Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil.
  2. Season the raw shrimp with salt and pepper.
  3. Over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of EVOO. Add 1 clove of finely chopped garlic and a pinch of chili flakes to the pan. Cook for about a minute, until garlic is nice and fragrant.
  4. Add shrimp to pan and cook for about 1 minute, and then flip each shrimp to cook for an additional minute, until they are firm to the touch. Then set the shrimp aside in a covered bowl.
  5. Once the pot of water is boiling, add the tagliatelle.
  6. Return pan to medium heat and add remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Add onion and shallots and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add garlic and a pinch of chili flakes. After a minute or two, add the lemon zest and stir for a minute. Add the salt, lemon juice, and wine and bring to a simmer. Allow the liquid to reduce down to about half a cup. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Instead of draining the pasta, use tongs to transfer noodles to pan, bringing some of the pasta water with the noodles. Mix noodles in with the sauce.
  8. Add the broccoli to the pasta water and boil for a minute or two, but no longer – the broccoli will cook quickly and could turn to broccoli mush. Drain the broccoli once it is done.
  9. Add the shrimp and broccoli to the pan, stirring all ingredients together. Allow the remaining liquid to cook down, then add an extra swirl of butter or olive oil in addition to the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
