Stir-Fried Shrimp and Broccoli

Ingredients:

1 lb shrimp, peeled & deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tbsp avocado oil (or olive oil)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (optional)

2 tbsp soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a low-sodium option)

1 tbsp oyster sauce (or substitute with more soy sauce)

1 tsp sesame oil

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Cut broccoli into bite-sized florets.

2. Blanch Broccoli (Optional):

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add broccoli, and cook for 1–2 minutes until bright green.

Drain and set aside. This step helps keep it tender-crisp.

3. Cook Shrimp:

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat.

Add shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.

Remove and set aside.

4. Stir-Fry Broccoli & Garlic:

Add remaining oil to the pan.

Sauté garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add broccoli.

Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, until slightly tender.

5. Combine & Season:

Return shrimp to the pan.

Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes.

Toss everything together and cook for 1 more minute.

6. Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

This pairs well with cauliflower rice or on its own for a light meal. Let me know if you want a variation!
