Saucy Stir-Fried Shrimp
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 lb. frozen medium shrimp (peeled, deveined and thawed)
- 4 cups about 2 large heads broccoli florets
- 1-2 cups cooked brown rice (optional)
- 1 package of romaine lettuce (optional)
Ingredients for the sauce:
- 1 Tbsp. orange juice
- 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. ginger (grated, or use ginger spice if you cannot find fresh)
- 5 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tsp. cornstarch
- 3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce (optional)
- 1½ Tbsp. Sriracha hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, orange juice, Sriracha, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, olive oil, and cornstarch. Whisk well to combine, then set aside.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warm, add in the shrimp and cook — flipping them once — until pink (about 3 minutes).
- Add in the broccoli and continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and tender (about 3-4 minutes). 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.
- Remove from heat and serve at once! This goes great served in lettuce wraps or over a bed of healthy brown rice!
Notes
Use flour if you don’t have cornstarch on hand.
