Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 lb peeled, deveined shrimp to the skillet along with 2 cups broccoli florets, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until shrimp turn pink and broccoli is crisp-tender.
  4. Step 4: Fluff cooked jasmine rice with a fork and serve topped with the ginger-garlic shrimp and broccoli mixture. Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over before eating.

How do I store leftover Sautéed Ginger-Garlic Shrimp with Broccoli and Jasmine Rice?
