Shrimp and Broccoli

This is an adaptation of a recipe I found in Cooking Light.

Serves 2 with leftovers - Doesn't quite serve 4

YOU WILL NEED:

• 1 # shrimp

I keep frozen shrimp on hand (look for uncooked, tail on, deveined). Just empty the contents of the bag into a colander and run cold water over the shrimp for a few minutes to thaw. Pat dry before cooking.

Also:

• Broccoli

• Chicken broth

• Sesame oil

• Soy sauce

• Rice Vinegar

• Garlic

• Fresh ginger

• Yellow onion

• Green onion

METHOD

Combine in a small mixing bowl:

• 2 T soy sauce

• 2 t cornstarch

Try to get all the lumps out. Then whisk in:

• ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth

• 2 T rice vinegar

• 1 t sesame oil

• Pinch chili flakes

Heat 1-2 T canola oil in a large skillet or wok. Add:

• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

• 1 T fresh ginger, minced

• 2 green onions, sliced thinly

Sprinkle shrimp with kosher salt and add to the pan. Cook through, about 3-5 minutes.

Remove shrimp from pan and reserve.

Add:

• 3 cups broccoli pieces

• 1 onion, halved and sliced

Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the broccoli softens a bit. Return shrimp to the pan and add the liquid ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Serve immediately.
