This shrimp and broccoli stir fry recipe is a delicious, healthy dinner recipe full of nutritious ingredients and flavor.
This shrimp and broccoli stir fry is a simple, flavorful dish. I like to make it on a busy night when I don’t have much time to cook. The ingredients can be prepared ahead of time, so all you need to do at dinner time is cook everything in the wok.
This dish is very flexible. You can swap out different vegetables according to what you have on hand. Also, if you’d like a little more spice in your sauce, add some ginger, garlic, or crushed red pepper.
The sauce is made from a simple combination of soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth. I like to thicken it with tapioca starch or arrowroot starch for the best consistency.
My husband loves stir fry, and this is a convenient recipe for those times when we have shrimp on hand in the freezer. It makes a healthy, delicious lunch or dinner on a busy day.
Try my chicken pineapple stir fry for another light dinner on a busy night.
