Ingredients
Stir Fry Sauce
- ½ cup soy sauce low sodium recommended
- ½ cup vegetable stock or water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 /2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1-2 teaspoons ginger grated or minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar more for a sweeter sauce, or granulated sugar or honey
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Pinch Pinch red pepper flakes optional
Shrimp Stir Fry
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen, medium or large size
- 1 Tablespoon neutral oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 bell pepper diced or thinly sliced
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ginger finely chopped or minced
- rice optional, for serving
Instructions
- The Sauce: whisk together the stir fry sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Pat shrimp dry. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired. Keep in mind the sauce is salty from the soy, so you don't need a lot, but some salt on the shrimp will help flavor them.
- In a wok or large saute pan, heat oil over high heat. Add shrimp and cook on one side, until cooked only halfway through, approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add broccoli to the hot wok and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on their size. You don't want them cooked all the way through, just enough so they have a head start. Add the bell pepper and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the shredded carrots (if using sliced carrots, add them with the broccoli), garlic, and ginger. Cook for a minute, then stir in the stir fry sauce. Bring to a simmer for about 2 minutes until sauce begins to thicken. See note about sauce amount.
- Add the shrimp back to the stir fry, cooking for an additional 2 minutes or so until they are cooked through.
- Serve over rice if desired, and garnish with green onions, cilantro, bean sprouts, a squeeze of lime, or sesame seeds.

Notes
- Shrimp: if using frozen shrimp, be sure to thaw them according to package directions before using.
- Storage: place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Sauce: the sauce makes approximately 1 1/4 cups; if you prefer a less saucy stir fry, add about 3/4 cup of the sauce and continue adding more until the desired amount is reached.
To make the sauce even thicker, add an additional 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch. See the stir fry sauce post for additional recipe tips. Use stock with no added salt.
