Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

Vegetables

  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

Optional

  • Red chili flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the Ingredients: Wash broccoli and cut into bite-sized florets. Peel and devein shrimp if not already done. Mince garlic and grate ginger to release fresh aromas.
  2. Cook the Broccoli: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sear the Shrimp: In the same pan, add more vegetable oil if needed, then add shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside with broccoli.
  4. Make the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add sesame oil, garlic, and ginger to the pan, sautéing about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in soy sauce and honey, stirring to combine and simmer slightly to thicken.
  5. Combine Everything: Return shrimp and broccoli to the pan, tossing to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors. Sprinkle sliced green onions and optional red chili flakes on top.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook shrimp and broccoli in batches if necessary for even searing.
  • Use high heat to keep vegetables crisp and shrimp juicy.
  • Prepare all ingredients before cooking to streamline the stir fry process.
  • Pat shrimp dry before cooking to achieve a good sear without steaming.
  • Adjust seasoning with soy sauce, sweetness, or heat as needed at the end.
