Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice fresh, preferably
  • 1.5 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated (you may also use bottled ginger if you cannot find fresh)
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp peeled and deveined (try to buy them already prepared this way to save on time)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 2 large heads)

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Grater
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Peeler
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, orange juice, sriracha, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch; whisk well to combine; set aside.
  2. Heat the sesame oil (1 1/2 tablespoons) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warm, add in the shrimp and cook - flipping them once - until pink; about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the broccoli and continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and tender; about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add in the sriracha soy mixture, stir well to coat the shrimp and broccoli, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and serve at once! This goes great with a small salad, rice, or even pasta (like lo mein).

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
  • Freezing: This dish can be frozen, but it's best to freeze the sauce and shrimp separately from the cooked broccoli to maintain texture.
  • Pairing: Serve this dish with steamed rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep! Prepare the sauce and chop the broccoli and shrimp ahead of time for a quick weeknight meal.
  • Spice Control: Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preference. You can also add a splash of lime juice for an extra zing!
  • Double the Batch: Consider making a double batch for meal prep or to serve guests. It’s always a crowd-pleaser!
