Ingredients:

4 tbsp olive oil
55g
1/2 bunch broccoli
300g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1 tsp ground cumin
2.10g
1.50 tsp salt
9g
1 tsp black pepper
2.10g
1/4 tsp chili powder
0.65g
16 oz shrimps
450g
4 slices lemon
55g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables and Shrimp:
- Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Peel and devein the shrimps if not already done.
2. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
3. Cook the Broccoli:
- Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, stirring frequently. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until the broccoli starts to become tender but still crisp.
4. Season the Broccoli:
- Add the ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir well to coat the broccoli evenly with the spices.
5. Cook the Shrimp:
- Push the broccoli to the edges of the skillet to create space in the center.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the center of the skillet.
- Add the shrimps to the center and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimps turn pink and are fully cooked.
6. Combine and Finish:
- Toss the broccoli back together with the shrimp ensuring everything is well mixed.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves and stir well to combine with the shrimp and broccoli.
7. Serve:
- Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fry to a serving dish.
- Garnish with lemon slices.
8. Enjoy:
- Your Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry is ready to be enjoyed! Serve it hot, perhaps with rice or noodles on the side if desired.

Tips:

- Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed and patted dry before cooking to get a good sear.

- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets to ensure they cook evenly.

- Preheat your pan before adding the olive oil to prevent the ingredients from sticking.

- Do not overcrowd the pan while cooking the shrimp; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming.

- Adjust the seasoning to taste; if you prefer less spice, reduce the chili powder.

- For an extra burst of flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or a sprinkle of sesame seeds while stir-frying.

Your Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry is now ready to be served! Enjoy this savory and slightly spicy dish with a fresh squeeze of lemon. It's perfect on its own or served over a bed of rice or noodles for a more filling meal. Happy cooking!
