Garlic Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 4 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1/4 cup canned water chestnuts, drained
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
1
Combine the florets of broccoli with water in a glass bowl; subject to microwave steaming until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, approximately 2-3 minutes.
2
Heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Introduce minced garlic into the hot oil and allow it to infuse with its aroma, about 1 minute. Gradually decrease the heat to a lower setting. Add chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and grated ginger root to the garlic; bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Introduce succulent shrimp into the boiling liquid and cook, stirring constantly, until they turn a pinkish hue, approximately 3-4 minutes.
3
Combine the cooked shrimp mixture with the steamed broccoli and water chestnuts; coat them evenly with the savory sauce. Gradually incorporate cornstarch into the mixture, tablespoon by tablespoon, until the sauce thickens to your liking, about 5 minutes.
