Cooking & Baking Supplies

  • Our Place Always Pan

Ingredients  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 heads of broccoli (about 6-7 cups), cut into florets
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • sprinkle of pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 scallions, chopped (optional)

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions 

  • Prepare your broccoli, garlic, and ginger. Wash your shrimp under cold water and pat dry well.
  • In a medium pot, add all of the sauce ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low heat and let the sauce simmer about 20 mins (or until the rest of the dish is finished cooking). Cover with a lid and stir occasionally.
  • In a large pan, add olive oil over medium heat then add the shrimp. Cook them for about 3 minutes per side or until they are pink and then set aside.
  • Add the broccoli to the pan and 3 tbsp of water, garlic, ginger, and pepper. You can cover the pan with a lid to help the broccoli cook faster. Stir occasionally.
  • If the broccoli starts to stick to the pan, add in another tablespoon of water.
  • Cook until the broccoli is soft and then add the shrimp into the pan with the sauce. Cook for 4-5 more minutes so that the broccoli and shrimp can soak up the sauce.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, top with sesame seeds and scallions and ENJOY!
