Description
A delicious and quick shrimp and broccoli stir fry with a savory sauce. Perfect served over rice for a complete meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or sesame oil)
- 1 pound extra large shrimp
- 1/2 large yellow onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 3 cups fresh broccoli (chopped to bite-sized pieces)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (not reduced-sodium)
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper (optional)
- Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add cornstarch and soy sauce. Whisk with a fork until smooth. Add remaining sauce ingredients and whisk again.
- Add oil to a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 of shrimp in an even layer (don’t overcrowd or overlap). Cook for 1 minute, then use tongs to flip on the other side and cook 1 more minute up to 90 seconds or until cooked through. Use tongs to transfer to a plate. Repeat cooking the remaining shrimp and transfer to the plate.
- Keeping the heat at medium-high, add the thinly sliced onion. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2–3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add a touch more oil if needed and scrape the bottom of the pan as you cook.
- Add in garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds. Finally, add in broccoli and cook to crisp tender.
- Quickly stir up the sauce again (honey usually settles) and add to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens like syrup (about a minute).
- Add the shrimp back in (and any accumulated juices) and toss through just to fully warm the shrimp. Remove from heat, garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately! I like this served over cooked rice.
Notes
- Note 1: Use fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined for convenience.
- Note 2: Toasted sesame oil adds flavor but can be substituted with regular oil if needed.
- Note 3: Adjust Sriracha to your spice preference.
- Note 4: To steam broccoli, place in a steamer basket over boiling water for a few minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
