Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 6 cups Water (for blanching broccoli)
- 1 bowl Ice water (for shocking broccoli)
Instructions
Prepare the sauce by whisking together the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Blanch the broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using) for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until warmed through but still crisp.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Optional: Serve over steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.
