Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-fryI am excited to share today’s shrimp and broccoli stir-fry with you. The sweet and sour shrimp with fresh broccoli combination is delicious and healthy. If you are looking for an easy-to-make dinner recipe, I would recommend giving this a try.

Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-fry IngredientsTo make this dish, you’ll need cooked shrimp, broccoli florets, sliced tomato, ginger and chopped green onion, quite simple. 

BroccoliI began by adding the broccoli into salted boiling water, cook until they are crisp-tender (takes about 2 minutes once the water returns to a boil) and cool it down with ice water. This quick and simple technique is called blanching. For presentation, I arranged the broccoli florets around the edge of the plate.

When it’s time to make the sauce. I sautéd the ginger and scallion first until it’s fragrant, then I poured the seasonings into the pan and heated until simmering. 

I made the seasoning mixture by combining ketchup, water, cooking wine, salt, sugar and black pepper in a bowl and setting aside before cooking. 

Stir-fried ShrimpThe role of tomato in this dish is to achieve a stronger umami taste and add texture. It should be add into the pan before the shrimp and sautéed until soft.

Cooked shrimps take just 1-2 minutes to heat through, they should be added last. Make sure to stir frequently so the sauce will be evenly spread.

Enjoy this delicious shrimp and broccoli stir fry with a bowl of rice or noodle for a fast and delicious meal. I guarantee you’ll love the sweet and sour shrimp!
