Description
Broccoli Shrimp Stir Fry over Steamed Rice is a quick, healthy, and flavorful Asian-inspired dish featuring tender shrimp, crisp broccoli, and a savory garlic-ginger sauce — perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup water or chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked steamed rice (for serving)
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, honey, cornstarch, water, and sesame oil. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, then stir-fry broccoli for 2–3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
- Add garlic and ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the shrimp to the pan and pour in the sauce mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and broccoli evenly, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- Substitute shrimp with chicken, tofu, or beef for variation.
- Add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or snow peas for color and texture.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha.
