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!

Fantastic flavor! It’s super easy, too.
Love this recipe. It and the chicken version are my go-to “what the heck should I make” dinners.
Made this tonight. Unbelievable delicious, like all the rest of your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing and making my family happy at dinnertime.
This is definitely a keeper! The sauce is the PERFECT balance of flavors! I only added a bell pepper, a part of a leek that was in the fridge, and a bit of Sambal Olek for a little heat. So so good! Will be a go-to for sure!
Has anyone tried using liquid aminos or tamari instead of the soy sauce?
We love this recipe – quick and tasty. However we add mushrooms and Asian noodles which makes it even more delicious!
So delicious! I added one can of sliced water chestnuts dor texture.
please change “dor to for”
so easy and my family loved it, thanks!!!
Love it. Quick and easy and very tasty. I used to buy the beef and broccoli frozen version but now this is our go to. Thank you.
I’ve made this once and I’m making it tonight for my son’s birthday it is definitely worth the time I doubled this and it was delicious
Your blog name is well-deserved because MAMA this was good!
I made this last night just left out the ginger it was awesome really delicious recipe.
Took the shrimp quite a bit longer to cook than 3-4 minutes and I used steam in the bag broccoli for ease. Taste was great with the siracha!
Absolutely wonderful flavors. I used a wok and decided to caramelize the broccoli a bit before adding a couple of tablespoons of shrimp stock to finish steaming the broccoli. Once the stock had evaporated I sautéed the shrimp. I added a bit of fish sauce to the sauce for a little extra umami. Easy peasy, quick and one pot!
I also cooked the veggies first, then the shrimp. This is a very good recipe and a great way to work with what you’ve got in the freezer and fridge.
The best shrimp and broccoli recipe. It was delicious I added some saute onions and red pepper
I just finished searching, discovering, reviewing, cooking, eating & cleaning up after this recipe. I used asparagus & a little thin sliced carrot instead of broccoli. Like she says, “whatever lingering ingredient…” WOWZA!! That was really good. My wife said it was her fave sauce, “Nice balance!” she said. I think the key was using just a bit of sesame oil and sriracha. That, and pulling the meal as soon as the small-chopped veggie was al dente. Just don’t substitute the Oyster sauce unless your cupboard is bare or you’re allergic.
I’ll say it – it was Damn Delicious! Time to bookmark this site and try a few more recipes. Then I’ll give my wife a cookbook gift.
What can I sub for oyster sauce?? Thanks!!
Worcestershire sauce contains fish and works well in equal amounts.
What is a good substitute for oyster sauce for this recipe? Thanks!
Ohhhhhh dear lord!! This was a-mazing!!! Just delicious. I followed the quantity directions to a “T” however, I did a couple things differently.
1. I cooked the shrimp after the broccoli and for only a short time.
2. I sauteed onions with the broccoli.
3. I used a wok to cook this.
When I say…it tasted great, I mean it tasted sooo great. It was super simple to make and very quick. Not too many dishes used to prep/cook this.
Really good, cooked it on our Blackstone grill and added chinese noodles, the left overs were even better than the first meal.
