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)

  1. In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, orange juice, sriracha hot sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Whisk well to combine and set aside.
  2. Heat 1 and a half tablespoons of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warm, add in the shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes, flipping once until pink.
  3. Add in the broccoli and continue cooking, stirring frequently for about 3 to 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
  • Freezing: This dish can be frozen, though it’s best enjoyed fresh. If freezing, store in a freezer-safe container for up to two months.
  • Pairing: Serve with jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal. Adding a side of stir-fried vegetables enhances the nutritional value.
  • Alternative Proteins: Swap the shrimp for chicken or tofu for a different protein source. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
  • Veggie Add-Ins: Feel free to toss in other veggies like bell peppers or snap peas for added color and crunch.
