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:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, ginger, sriracha, and brown sugar blend.

  2. 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). 

  3. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and place on a plate.

  4. Heat the remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil in the same skillet. Add the broccoli florets and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.

  5. 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.

Thank you for the recipe. It was pretty good. I left out the hot stuff, put in a wee bit more sugar, and added a dash of sesame seed oil to the mix and topped it with some sliced green onions and sesame seeds. I served it over jasmine rice and quinoa.

I'll would make this dish again. The recipe was quick and very easy to follow and my family enjoyed it. The only substitution I made was using a bag of non starchy frozen stir fry veggies rather than fresh broccoli. The sriracha wasn't noticeable.

Can the sugar be omitted from this recipe?

Is the 1/2 tsp of sriracha listed in the ingredients of the "Easy Broccoli and Shrimp Stir-Fry" Recipe a powdered sriracha seasoning or a liquid sauce?
