Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice preferably
  • 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger fresh or bottled
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1.5 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups broccoli florets about 2 large heads

Equipment

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Garlic press
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Stepwise Method
  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh orange juice, Sriracha hot sauce, light brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Whisk together until well blended, and set aside.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to become hot but not smoking.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
  4. Sauté the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender but still crisp. You may add a splash of water to help steam the broccoli if needed.
  5. Combine and Cook: Return the shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the sauce mixture over the shrimp and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and everything is heated through.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from heat and serve your 20-Minute Skinny Sriracha Shrimp and Broccoli immediately. This dish is perfect on its own or served over a bed of rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal.
