Quick Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-fry

A quick and healthy stir-fry featuring succulent shrimp and crisp broccoli, tossed in a savory sauce, perfect for a nutritious meal any day of the week.

Ingredients
  

  • ½ lb medium raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • ¾ cup red onion chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup green onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lime wedge 1-2 teaspoons juice
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves completely. Set this sauce mixture aside.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  • Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set them aside.
  • In the same pan, add a bit more sesame oil if needed. Toss in the chopped red onion and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
