Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (freshly grated)
- 1.5 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (toasted)
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced, optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside to marinate the shrimp.
In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add broccoli florets to the skillet and stir fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender, but still crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium and pour the prepared soy sauce mixture over the shrimp. Stir to coat well.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss to combine with the shrimp and sauce.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the stir fry and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy!
