Ingredients

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
4-1/2 teaspoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
4-1/2 teaspoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 cups fresh broccoli florets
1 tablespoon canola oil

Directions

In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and broth until smooth. Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame oil; set aside.

Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry Tips

Can you use frozen shrimp to make shrimp and broccoli stir fry?

Yes! You can use frozen shrimp in this recipe, but be sure to thaw them first to avoid adding additional moisture and overcooking other ingredients. (You can use frozen in lots of easy shrimp recipes, too.)

What else can you put in shrimp and broccoli stir fry?

Every stir fry recipe starts with a basic formula: veggies + protein + sauce + a base. From there, you can make virtually a brand-new stir fry every time! In this shrimp and broccoli stir fry, consider adding snow peas or sliced red pepper. You can also add some heat with sriracha or red pepper flakes.

What else can you serve shrimp and broccoli stir fry with?

Most stir fry recipes are served with rice, but you can switch it up by using rice noodles as a base. This dish pairs well with egg rolls or crispy crab rangoons.
