Increase the heat to medium-high and add 1 tbsp. of olive oil to the pot. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the shrimp and ¼ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are just cooked through.
Return the broccoli mixture to the pot, stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Serve immediately.
