Ingredients
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and toss in the broccoli. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over everything. Stir to coat the shrimp and broccoli evenly.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For extra vegetables, consider adding bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas.
For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add chili paste.
To vary the protein, use chicken, beef, or tofu instead of shrimp.
