Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry
Description
Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry features peeled and deveined shrimp sautéed briefly until just pink and firm, then set aside. Mushrooms are sautéed until softened, followed by crisp-tender broccoli florets, julienned or shredded carrots, and minced garlic. These vegetables are cooked together for a few minutes for texture and flavor balance. The dish is finished by returning shrimp to the pan and adding a sauce made from low sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and cornstarch, which thickens during a few minutes of cooking, evenly coating the ingredients. Salt and black pepper are added to taste. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds for a touch of contrast.
This stir fry can be served immediately alongside rice or other grains, providing a quick protein and vegetable combination. Its mix of tender shrimp and crisp vegetables in a lightly sweetened and savory sauce makes it suitable for home dinners or packed lunches.
