Categories     Fish & Seafood

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 sized 16 to 20 count shrimp ((or 12 ounces / 340 grams of whatever shrimp you have on hand; peeled, deveined, and butterflied))
10 ounces broccoli florets ((285g))
1/2 cup low sodium chicken stock ((120 ml, warmed))
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar ((or brown sugar))
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 cloves garlic ((chopped))
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch ((mixed with 2 tablespoons water into a cornstarch slurry))

Steps:

  • First, prepare the shrimp and broccoli. Next, in a medium pot, set 4 cups of water to a boil. While that's happening, mix the chicken stock, sugar, soy sauces, oyster sauce, sesame oil and white pepper and set aside.
  • Blanch the broccoli for 30 seconds. Remove and drain. Let the water return to a boil, and blanch the shrimp for 15 seconds. Remove and drain. The shrimp will be about 60-70% cooked.
  • Heat the wok over high heat. Pour 2 tablespoons of canola oil around the perimeter of the wok, stir in the garlic, and add the Shaoxing wine. Next, add the chicken stock mixture. Bring the sauce up to a boil, and add the shrimp and broccoli back to the wok.
  • Once everything comes to a boil, drizzle in the cornstarch slurry until the sauce thickens and starts to cling to the shrimp and broccoli. There should not be any standing sauce, although you can adjust this depending on your personal preference. Serve with steamed white rice!

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help the cooking process go smoothly and efficiently.
  • Choose Fresh Shrimp: For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp if possible. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
  • Cook the Shrimp Properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook the shrimp until they are pink and opaque, but not rubbery.
  • Use a Wok or Large Skillet: A wok or large skillet will help you stir-fry the ingredients evenly. If you don't have a wok or large skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but you may need to cook the ingredients in batches.
  • Stir-Fry in Small Batches: If you're cooking a large amount of ingredients, stir-fry them in small batches. This will help prevent the ingredients from steaming instead of stir-frying.
  • Use a High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to get the best results. Make sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the ingredients.
  • Add the Sauce Last: Add the sauce to the stir-fry at the end of the cooking process. This will help prevent the sauce from burning.

Conclusion:

This shrimp and broccoli stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The shrimp is cooked to perfection, the broccoli is tender-crisp, and the sauce is flavorful and savory. Serve this stir-fry over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
