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!

so good
Absolutely the best oriental dish I have prepared. I went a little overboard with ginger and lots and lots of shrimp but everything else I followed to a tee. Wonderful!
Omgosh so dang good. I didn’t have everything so I subbed in Hoisin for the oyster sauce, honey for the brown sugar. I also squeezed in the juice of a half a lime. I also did the veggies first, removed and did the shrimp, then added them all in the pan with the sauce. AMAZING!!!
Very easy and very tasty. Can be made with whatsever is in your pantry. You can even add another vegetable (carrots? yellow squash?) I did not have sriracha but substituted a little West Indian hot sauce. I’m sure the result was about the same. I would make this again and again.
Hands down the best stir fry I have made. This will be my base for stir fry from here on out.
By far the best I have had, going to use this same sauce for chicken and broccoli stir fry!!
Delicious and so easy. Will be making this again for sure. Will try the sauce with other protein/veggie combos but the shrimp&brocolli worked really well.
Nice recipe. Cooking the shrimp before the broccoli overcooked them. I would cook the broccoli first then add shrimp. Or even cook them separately. Overall, great recipe! Everyone loved it.
The best stir fry sauce I’ve ever tasted!! Another outstanding recipe!
Instead of broccoli, I added 2 pkgs. of fresh snow peas, and 2 carrots, peeled. Added raw cashew nuts which i cooked on med-hi for 2-3 mins…placed in a separate bowl & sprinkled a small amount of red pepper flakes.
We really enjoyed this recipe.we added rice wine to liquids and put mushroom flavor in the wok while the vegetables cooked.At the last minute we added four servings of rice noodles!
To die for!
i made this for dinner doubled the sauce and omg it was delish will make this plenty more times for family and friends thanks for sharing
Excellent recipe.this is my favorite stir fry sauce and I use it with other things too. I just made a tofu veggie stir fry and cooked this with it, same way as how you’d do it with shrimp. Super fresh and delicious tasting.
Best and easiest ever. I add cremini mushrooms & bok Choi to the recipe to help enhance the flavors and helps serve more since second helpings are always asked for.
This is one of my favorite stir-fry recipes. I made it tonight for my family. My dad has been sick lately and has had no appetite because of chemotherapy, and he went back for seconds 🙂
I loved this recipe. I plan to make it again soon and plan to make it a go-to recipe. I used string beans instead of broccoli which was great. Just signed up on your site to get more recipes. Thanks. Great.
I loved it. I had most of the ingredients so I improvised. I made it with green string beans instead of broccoli just to make it my own. I plan to make this again this week, and it will definitely be a go-to recipe for me. Thank you. I signed up to learn more from you.
Yummy! Added snow peas because we had them. The sriracha is a definite positive.
Just had for dinner. YUM!!!!
Only I used a frozen stir fry veggie medley that I steamed first.
Wonderful, delicious combo of seasonings!
This is damn delicious! I have cooked it three times in a week. Once with shrimp, once with chicken, and once with chicken and shrimp. Just love it!
Great recipe! My only suggestion would be to add a teaspoon of lime juice, or the zest from 1 lime.
Followed the sauce recipe, but did not marinate shrimp. Doubled sauce recipe, but I found it thick and strong so added OJ and a squeeze of fresh lemon and splash of water. Did not marinate shrimp, fried dry in separate pan in oil and butter and then a squeeze of lemon. Added to stir fry veggies pan with sauce, deliciousness!!!
