Ingredients

1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon cornstarch

¼ cup water

1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until the cornstarch is completely dissolved, which will take about a minute.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat for about two minutes before adding minced ginger and garlic.

Add the shrimp to the skillet, cook for three to four minutes until they turn pink, and then set them aside on a plate.

In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and stir-fry for about three minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir in soy sauce, red pepper flakes and cornstarch mixture, cooking for two more minutes until the sauce thickens.

Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil, then serve immediately over cooked rice or noodles if desired.
