Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil (divided)
  • 1 pound defrosted large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 23 cups fresh broccoli florets (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 large red or yellow bell peppers (thinly sliced)
  • 6 green onions (chopped)
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together water, soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, honey, rice wine vinegar, hot sauce, and cornstarch until well combined. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1 minute, flip, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until opaque. Remove the shrimp to a clean plate.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in the same skillet. Add broccoli florets and sauté for 1 minute. Then add bell peppers and green onions, sauté for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
  5. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds longer.
  6. Whisk the sauce again and pour it into the skillet with the vegetables. Let it cook for about 1 minute until thickened, stirring constantly.
  7. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat with sauce. Turn off the heat.
  8. Serve with rice and sesame seeds and additional green onions if desired.
