Cut broccoli into florets; cut florets into halves, creating flat bases.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 T. olive oil. When oil is hot, add broccoli, flat sides down, in an even layer. Sprinkle on 1/2 t. salt. Cook broccoli undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip broccoli over; cook until broccoli is tender-crisp, another 2 - 3 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a platter, keeping warm; set aside.
Turn heat down on skillet to low; add 1/2 T. olive oil. Add garlic, shallot and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 - 3 minutes. Turn heat off; add lemon zest and lemon juice; stir.
Served with the lemon-shallot mixture spooned over the broccoli.
