Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp oyster sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 1 tbsp brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add 1 tbsp grated ginger root, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp cornstarch, and 1 tsp pepper sauce to the mixture. Stir well to create a smooth, well-blended sauce. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the 24 oz of peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Stir-fry the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the 5 cups of broccoli florets.
- Stir-fry the broccoli for about 4-5 minutes until it becomes tender but still crisp. If needed, add a splash of water to help the broccoli cook evenly.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and broccoli, stirring to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to the shrimp and broccoli.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Serve the shrimp and broccoli stir fry hot, with steamed rice or noodles on the side if desired.
Tips:
- Tip 1: Make sure to devein the shrimp and remove the shells before cooking for a cleaner and more enjoyable eating experience.
- Tip 2: For a spicier kick, add more pepper sauce or sprinkle some red chili flakes.
- Tip 3: Steam the broccoli for a couple of minutes before adding to the stir fry to maintain its vibrant green color and crisp texture.
- Tip 4: Prepare all your ingredients and mix the sauce in advance, so you can cook everything quickly.
- Tip 5: Use a large wok or skillet to ensure even cooking and to prevent overcrowding the pan.
This Easy Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry is a delightful dish that combines the crispy texture of broccoli with the tender juiciness of shrimp, all brought together with a savory sauce.
