This delicious shrimp & broccoli bake is yummy and comes together in less than 30 minutes! It’s the perfect last-minute dinner recipe for a busy night!

If you read this blog regularly, you already know that I am a little obsessed with “cheater” freezer cooking. Not only are these simple meals quick & easy to throw together, they save us a ton of money on groceries (and especially on eating out.)  Better yet, they make our sometimes hectic weekdays SO much simpler!

Even so, every now and then it’s fun to throw in something a little new and different into the mix. Thus, so while this yummy–and super simple–Shrimp and Broccoli bake is not a TRUE freezer recipe, it does call for frozen shrimp, which is usually more economical than fresh. The rest of this recipe comes together so quickly and with just a few ingredients.
