Sesame Shrimp with Broccoli
Description
Sesame Shrimp with Broccoli combines peeled and deveined shrimp coated in a seasoned panko and sesame seed crust that adds a crisp texture when pan-fried. The preparation involves seasoning the shrimp, dredging them through flour, an egg mixture flavored with sriracha and honey, then finishing in the panko-sesame blend with ground ginger for subtle warmth and aroma. Cooking in a mix of avocado and toasted sesame oils imparts a rich, nutty undertone.
The broccoli is cooked in the same pan, first browning slightly before steaming with a bit of water to achieve a crisp-tender finish that complements the crunchy shrimp. This pairing offers a harmonious plate where savory, spicy, and toasty flavors meet fresh lemon slices for acidity.
Leftovers should cool completely before refrigeration and can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave to prevent overcooking and maintain shrimp tenderness.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp tails-off peeled and deveined (about 20, large raw
- salt
- black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg large
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup sesame seeds toasted
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 broccoli cut into florets, small head
- lemon for serving, slices
Instructions
- Pat shrimp dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a small bowl. Whisk the egg with sriracha and honey in another bowl.
- Combine panko breadcrumbs, toasted sesame seeds and ginger in a third bowl.
- Dip the shrimp in the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg mixture, then in the panko sesame mixture.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon avocado oil and ½ teaspoon toasted sesame seed oil. Place half the shrimp in the skillet and cook until opaque, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from pan and cook the remaining shrimp with the remaining avocado oil and toasted sesame seed oil; set aside keeping warm.
- In the same skillet, add the broccoli and cook until lightly browned, 2-3 minutes. Add water to deglaze the pan if needed, and continue cooking broccoli until crisp tender, 2-3 more minutes.
- Serve the sesame shrimp with the broccoli immediately
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat shrimp gently on low heat in a skillet or briefly in the microwave to avoid toughness.
