How to Make Easy Broccoli and Shrimp Stir-Fry
There's nothing more satisfying than whipping up a healthy, tasty dinner in less than 30 minutes! This recipe calls for broccoli florets, but you can use 3 cups of any nonstartchy vegetables you have on hand (like cauliflower, zucchini, snow peans, or cabbage). Serve over brown rice or another whole grain for a complete plate.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger, sriracha, and brown sugar blend.
-
Heat 2 Tbsp of the olive oil in a large skillet or wok. When the oil is shimmering, add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
-
Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and place on a plate.
-
Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
-
Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and toss to combine with the broccoli. Pour the broth mixture over the shrimp and broccoli and toss to coat. Continue cooking until the broth mixture thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
