1-First Step: Heat the oven and get your ingredients ready Start by preheating your oven to 425°F. This high heat is what helps the broccoli roast quickly and get those browned edges that make roasted broccoli so good. While the oven heats, cut the broccoli into florets if it is not already prepped, thaw the shrimp, and set out the pasta, lemon, Parmesan, olive oil, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Having everything ready makes this shrimp pasta smooth and stress free.

2-Second Step: Make the creamy lemon dressing In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until the dressing looks smooth and creamy. Set it aside so the flavors can blend while the rest of the dish cooks.

3-Third Step: Roast the broccoli Toss 1 crown of broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, which gives the broccoli a head start before the shrimp goes in. This short first roast helps it develop flavor while still staying crisp-tender.

4-Fourth Step: Add the shrimp to the sheet pan After 15 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven and add 1 pound frozen large shrimp that has been thawed, peeled, and deveined. Drizzle the shrimp with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Return the pan to the oven and roast for about 10 more minutes, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque.

5-Fifth Step: Cook the farfalle pasta While the broccoli and shrimp roast, cook 12 ounces dried farfalle pasta according to the package instructions. Use salted water for the best flavor. Once the pasta is al dente, drain it well and transfer it to a large bowl.

6-Sixth Step: Bring everything together Stir the dressing into the warm pasta first so every piece gets coated. Then add the roasted broccoli, roasted shrimp, and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently until everything is evenly mixed. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

7-Final Step: Serve and enjoy Spoon the farfalle pasta with shrimp roasted broccoli lemon and parmesan into bowls and serve it right away while it is warm. A little extra lemon zest or Parmesan on top is a nice finishing touch. The dish works well for lunch, dinner, or even a casual get-together when you want something colorful and crowd-friendly.
