| Step 2. | Put 2 to 4 tablespoons butter in a large, warm bowl for tossing with pasta. Add broccoli to a large saucepan of enough boiling salt water to cover generously. Cook uncovered over high heat about 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain broccoli well. Return to saucepan. Cover and keep warm. |
| Step 3. | Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 Tablespoons olive oil and 2 Tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add shrimp and saute, tossing often, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until pink on the outside; large shrimp can be white inside when cut. Reserving fat in skillet, transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a large bowl. Cut some of larger shrimp into thirds. Cover and keep warm. |
