Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat shrimp dry, then season with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil over medium heat. Add minced ginger and minced garlic, sautéing for 1 minute until fragrant. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Return shrimp to skillet. Whisk together soy sauce, coconut aminos, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pour sauce over shrimp and broccoli, tossing until evenly coated and sauce thickens slightly (about 1 minute). Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

How do I store leftover Asian-Style Ginger-Soy Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep shrimp from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Asian-Style Ginger-Soy Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Asian-Style Ginger-Soy Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
