Print Recipe

Equipment

1 knife
1 cutting board
1 wok or skillet

Ingredients

For the Stir Fry

1 ½ pound shrimp peeled and de-veined
1 large head broccoli crowns or 4 cups frozen broccoli thawed and drained
3 cloves garlic chopped or minced
sea salt to taste
black pepper to taste
olive oil
4 cups cooked brown rice optional

For the Sauce

¼ cup honey
2 oranges
crushed red pepper to taste
½ teaspoon ground ginger
3-4 drops sesame oil

Instructions

Season shrimp with salt and pepper then set aside. Cut broccoli crowns into 2-inch pieces. Peel and chop garlic cloves. Mix together all sauce ingredients and set aside.
Add olive oil to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shrimp to heated pan. Once they begin to sizzle, pour in sauce. Stir until shrimp is cooked through then remove shrimp with tongs.
Add broccoli to pan to cook until tender (about 5 minutes). Sauce should thicken.
Add shrimp back to pan and toss with broccoli and remaining sauce.
Serve with brown rice or alone.

Notes

Can I make this stir fry ahead of time? Yes! You can mix up the sauce up to five days in advance. And stir fried shrimp and veggies will keep in the fridge for about four days sealed in an airtight container. After this time the quality will start to deteriorate.
