How to make Broccoli Shrimp Stir Fry

Cook the rice according to the package directions.

At the same time, cut the onion into thin slices and chop the broccoli.

Rinse the shrimp and pat it very dry with a paper towel.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ground ginger, minced garlic, and Thai sweet chili sauce. Set aside.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

When hot, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Do not overcook. Remove the shrimp from the pan to a plate and set aside.  

Re-heat the pan and add the other 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.

Add the onion and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until softened and starting to turn golden.

Stir in the broccoli and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often until bright green and crisp-tender.

Return the shrimp to the pan and add the sauce. Stir until everything is coated and the sauce has thickened about 1 minute.

Serve over the rice and garnish with the green onions if desired.
