Season the shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and toss with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and a small pinch of salt.

Cook the broccoli: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and sauté for 4–5 minutes until vivid green and tender-crisp with a few browned edges.

Get those shrimp sizzling: Push the broccoli aside and add the shrimp. Cook for about 1–2 minutes per side until pink, curled, and opaque.

Bring the garlic butter: Lower the heat and add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add soy sauce and toss everything together.

Make it glossy: Let the shrimp and broccoli cook together for another minute so that savory garlic-butter sauce coats every piece.

Finish it up: Add lemon juice and red pepper flakes if you want a little kick. Serve piping hot straight from the skillet.
