Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large head of broccoli (about 1 pound / 450g), cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Shrimp & Broccoli: Ensure the shrimp are peeled, deveined and patted dry. Prep the broccoli into equal size florets.
  2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, cornstarch, honey, chicken broth, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  3. Sauté Aromatics: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and ginger and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Cook the Broccoli: Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, or until slightly tender-crisp.
  5. Add the Shrimp: Add shrimp to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
  6. Add Sauce & Simmer: Pour the sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
