Blanch and shock.

Cut the broccoli into crowns. Large pot of boiling water and a bowl of ice water. Place a handful of broccoli in the boiling water, this takes maybe 1 min depending on how much water and how much broccoli you're using. Boil until just fork tender, then into the ice water. Stop the cooking and remove from water and place in fridge until ready to use.

Now it's ready for a very quick saute in butter, season, plate and sprinkle with Parm and lemon zest.
