Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of water. Set the sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. You can add a splash of water if needed to help steam the broccoli.
Add garlic and ginger to the skillet with the broccoli. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and broccoli evenly.
Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles, if desired.
