Cook the Pasta
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain it and set it aside.

Sauté the Shrimp
In a non-stick skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp in batches for about 2 minutes on each side until they're fully cooked. Set them aside.

Make the Broccoli Sauce
Next, add the broccoli, chicken broth, lemon juice, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for around 7 minutes until the mixture reduces by half and the broccoli is tender.
