Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium or no sodium added)
• 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar)
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside to allow the cornstarch to dissolve fully for a thickened sauce later.

2. 2

   Cook broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until they turn bright green and become just tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. 3

   Cook shrimp: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the same skillet. Place the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp to the plate with the broccoli.

4. 4

   Sauté aromatics and thicken sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the prepared sauce mixture and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

5. 5

   Combine and heat through: Return the cooked shrimp and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.

   Serve hot over rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy it as is for a low-carb option.
