Tender shrimp and crisp broccoli are coated in a savory garlic sauce that’s sweet, salty, and packed with umami. It’s better than takeout and perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Red pepper flakes or sriracha (optional, to taste)
  • Cooked white rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds or chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
  2. In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil to the pan and stir-fry broccoli for 3–4 minutes until crisp-tender. Add a splash of water and cover briefly to steam, if needed.
  4. Push broccoli to the side. Add garlic (and ginger, if using) and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in the prepared sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  5. Return shrimp to the pan and toss everything together until coated and heated through. Serve hot over white rice, garnished with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap broccoli for bell peppers, snap peas, or frozen stir-fry veggies.
  • For a vegetarian version, use tofu or mushrooms and omit oyster sauce.
  • Add sriracha or chili garlic sauce for more heat.
  • Serve over noodles instead of rice for a change.
  • Reheat with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
