I really don't like broccoli, but this was delicious! I did use fresh broccoli, steamed in the microwave. Made the butter sauce as directed and poured over it. A lot quicker this way too! I think I may try this butter sauce on fish or shrimp.

Broccoli comes alive...Great recipe. A great combination of zest, from the lemon juice and pepper. Topped off with the rich buttery flavor. Good Eats

I would maybe add a little less cajun if you have sensitive guests...but it was good, and easy!

I used fresh broc and lemon....well I think the combination of lemon and cayenne pepper left the broc with a funny bitter taste. Maybe I did something wrong??

My family loves broccoli. I thought this dressed up version would be a nice change, but it was mediocre at best. My kids, who normally gobble their broccoli, barely touched it. This probably would have been better without the water. Cooking the broccoli with the lemon juice turns it brown. It'd probably be better to make the sauce separately and pour it on top of the cooked broccoli, although I probably won't bother making this again.

a lovely but not to over powering way to dress up broccoli. We all loved it and there was not any left overs of our veggies with this meal. Our 2 year old had thirds and our five year old had fourths.. 5 stars from everyone in this house.

At first, my broccoli looked fine but unfortunately, over the course of just a few minutes, the sauce turned my broccoli a nasty shade of brown. It tasted just okay to me. My kids tried it but didn't care for it at all. Appearance is a big part of a dish's overall appeal and success. I wish I knew what I could have done differently to prevent the "browning" of my veggies.

This was quick, easy, and has a zesty spicy zing. I made it with all fresh and organic ingredients in about 15 minutes.

Well,I used the lemon sauce with baked chicken. It was a huge hit at my house. I poured it over the chicken as soon as I pulled it out of the oven and it was perfect.

A great change to broccoli! I liked the bite that the cayenne pepper gave to it. Will make this again.

OMG! This is too good!! I actually had to give a four year old a second helping!! Absolutely use FRESH broccoli. And, I just used "ReaLemon" juice - probably about a TBS. I didn't cover it while cooking. TRY THIS ONE TONIGHT! It's AWESOME!

I used fresh broccoli in this dish to avoid the limp broccoli issue. I also omitted the water to give it a more concentrated butter/lemon taste. Oh, and I added garlic, to go along with the theme of dinner. I loved it but noone else did.

Although this recipe was easy and edible I me & my husband didn't like them and won't be making them again. Strangely, the borccoli was completely overpowered by the lemon, yet the falvor was bland. Not a good mix of flavors. Maybe garlic would have helped.

I really liked this recipe, I didn't add as much butter or cayenne required. This way of cooking broccoli is a nice change from the normal everyday salt and pepper.
