The easiest stir fry you will ever make in just 20 min – it doesn’t get easier (or quicker) than that! 287.3 calories.
Stir fry recipes are the best. They are so versatile and you can pretty much use whatever lingering ingredient you have in your fridge.
But I decided to keep this stir fry nice and simple. Just shrimp and broccoli.
Because believe it or not, these two ingredients are a match made in heaven. And in less than 20 minutes, you’ll really have this on the dinner table in no time.
Just be sure to have some brown rice available – cooking the rice will take longer than making this actual dish!

Can I use frozen broccoli and frozed pre cooked shrimp?
Love this recipe but I cook the broccoli first as it takes longer and shrimp only 2 minutes. Easy and delicious!
This was great! I made it because I had everything already and needed a quick dinner for my family. It was a hit. I made it exactly as written. Will definitely keep in the rotation!
Made it last night! So much flavor!!!
Good flavor. I reversed the order of broccoli in and shrimp in. I like my broccoli a little more cooked, and I didn’t want my shrimp overcooked. So broccoli (and scallion whites) in for a few minutes, and then shrimp in for a few, and then tossed some garlic in last, cooked for a minute, threw the sauce in, cooked maybe one more minute. It worked out!
Made last night and it was awesome.. I used everything except the wine and it was still delicious.
Thanks a million!
This recipe has become one of my favorites on the first try!!! DELICIOUS!!!
This was really tasty. If I had the rice already made this really would have been fast! Thank you 🙂
Made this last night…delish! I used broccolini, mushrooms, and baby bok choy along with the shrimp. And, along with the green onions, added some cashews. I didn’t have sesame seeds, so I want to try this again with those. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
How do I go about adding rice noodles to this. I have never made rice noodles would like to try to incorporate them in this recipe.
Excellent!! My husband danced as he tasted each bite- this dish is definitely a keeper!
Forgot to say “Thank you!”
Made this as a quick lunch – adjusted amounts and supplemented main ingredients as I didn’t have enough and it was absolutely delicious. Great recipe – the sauce is stunning. I am sending the link to my sons. 🙂
Delicious and easy. The family loved it.
Delicious! Didn’t have rice wine vinegar so I used white wine vinegar instead. And served with rice noodles cooked in umami broth. Very quick and yummy dish!
YUM!! After years of searching for the perfect stir fry preparation it has finally arrived!
I made it to soec minus hot sauce and the entire family loved it.. including the kids
We really enjoyed this tasty dish…it is so quick and easy to prepare…it’s a keeper…makes a wonderful presentation…made it for “Best of 2022” tag game per KathyD’s recommendation…
Fast, easy and delicious! Saving because I will make again. Did not make any changes to the sauce, added julienned carrot and red pepper and water chestnuts. Used cooked small shrimp, all I had, still tasty.
Didn’t change a thing (never do when first trying a recipe); served with jasmine rice. An absolute winner! I was gifted some frozen shrimp and didn’t know what to do with it. Now I’ll be adding frozen shrimp to my grocery list. Thanks!
This is delicious and so quick to make. I made it just as directed, and I would increase the sauce a bit if you are going to serve this over rice. The fresh ginger really shines in this dish. Made for Best of 2022 Tag game.
