Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch piece ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Directions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the stir-fry sauce until well combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir fry until they just turn pink and are almost cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed. Stir-fry the broccoli florets until they turn bright green and are crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

  5. 5

    Pour in the prepared stir-fry sauce and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. The cornstarch will help it thicken up.

  6. 6

    Add the shrimp back into the skillet and toss everything together until the shrimp is cooked through and coated in the sauce, about 1 more minute.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot over steamed rice. Enjoy!
