Having the boys home for spring break is like a happy prelude to our summertime breaks. Lazy mornings, plenty of meals together and a blissful week without homework and other obligations. Having the boys home for lunches means that I get to try out some new recipes on them, and they are always willing taste-testers, particularly when shrimp is involved!

Seafood of any kind is always a hit with them, but I wasn't sure how the broccoli slaw was going to go over.

The broccoli slaw was an impulse purchase during our monthly Trader Joe's shopping trip. Yeah, broccoli slaw...and lots of cheese. We're all about the savory food around here (though that doesn't mean a container of cookie butter doesn't make it into the cart every once in awhile).

Can you make your own broccoli slaw? Of course. Just cut any tough parts off of the broccoli stems, then either chop by hand or run the stems through the grating disc on your food processor. But on those days when you need to pull together a meal in 15 minutes, broccoli slaw in a bag is a mighty fine option!

As for the shrimp, they just need a quick toss in olive oil, fresh rosemary and lemon zest before being roasted. Roasting them at high heat takes just 3 or 4 minutes - be sure to check them at the 3 minute mark so that they don't become overcooked and rubbery. Combine the shrimp with the broccoli slaw, some toasted slivered almonds and a light lemon rosemary vinaigrette.

And the verdict? Well, my older son came back for seconds and my younger son asked if we could make another batch for dinner. Broccoli slaw for the win!
