Ingredients

For the Stir Fry:

  • 1 cup rice
  • ½ pound Large Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh broccoli florets
  • ½ medium onion
  • 2 Tablespoons cooking oil (divided)
  • Salt and fresh cracked black pepper to taste

For the Sauce:

  • ⅛ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ⅛ cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce

Instructions
 

  • 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 very dry with 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 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 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 sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
  • Serve over the rice and garnish with the green onions if desired.
