Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tsps olive oil or any kind of cooking oil, divided
- 1 lb broccoli florets fresh or defrosted
- 1 lb shrimp fresh or defrosted
- 1/4 cup water or vegetable or chicken stock
- 1/4 cup soy sauce regular or low sodium
- 1 tsp sriracha optional, to taste
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
Instructions
- You can use frozen (thawed) cooked shrimp and broccoli or raw ingredients in this recipe. For this version, we are using pre-cooked shrimp and raw broccoli. So we'll cook the broccoli in the skillet for longer.Turn the heat to high on the skillet. Add a drizzle of olive oil (or any cooking oil) and top with the broccoli florets. Wait until the oil starts sizzling to toss the broccoli.
- Once the oil is hot, turn the heat down to medium high and mix up the broccoli with a spatula. Cook broccoli for 10 minutes, stirring every minute, or until it's tender to your liking.
- Move cooked broccoli to plate so you can heat up the shrimp.
- Add oil to pan once again. Drop shrimp into skillet to heat through. (If shrimp is raw, cook for 3-5 minutes).
- While shrimp is heating up, let's mix up the sauce. In a liquid measuring cup, add water (or chicken or vegetable stock), soy sauce (regular or low sodium), sriracha (optional-to taste), and cornstarch. Whisk together with a fork. Add garlic and mix again.
- Add broccoli back into skillet and pour in sauce. Turn heat to high and wait for sauce to boil. Allow sauce to thicken for 2 minutes. Then mix shrimp and broccoli with sauce.
- Once ingredients have been combined into a stir fry, turn off heat and move food from skillet to a serving dish.

Notes
- If broccoli needs to be thawed or cooked quickly, you can do so in the microwave
- No need to add much cooking oil if using a nonstick pan
- You may need to turn the heat down to low if the shrimp or broccoli are burning before they are fully cooked
- Any hot sauce can be used in place of sriracha sauce
- You can serve this dish with rice or noodles. If so, you may want to double the sauce recipe
