Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon, minced

Garlic

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. This will be the flavor-packed sauce that ties the whole dish together. Set it aside for now.
2. Next, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the heated oil in the skillet. Let these aromatic ingredients cook for about a minute until they become fragrant.
4. Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook them for 2-3 minutes until they turn a beautiful pink color, indicating they're cooked through. Once done, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
5. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes until they become crisp yet tender.
6. Now, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Pour the sauce that you prepared earlier over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir everything together to ensure all the pieces are evenly coated in the sauce.
7. Let everything cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. This will allow the sauce to thicken slightly, clinging to the shrimp and broccoli for maximum flavor.
8. Season the stir fry with salt and pepper to your taste.
9. Serve the Broccoli and Shrimp Stir Fry hot, over a bed of cooked rice. Enjoy the rich flavors of this simple yet exotic dish!
10. As a variation, you might consider adding other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots, or even some sliced mushrooms. You could also substitute the shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
