Ingredients
- For the Shrimp:
- 2 tbsp avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 lb raw jumbo shrimp, peeled and tails removed
- 1½ tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- For the Sauce:
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp Sriracha
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- For the Veggies:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
Instructions
- Prep the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, combine shrimp, soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, sugar, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
- Cook the Veggies: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add broccoli and carrots. Stir fry for about 5 minutes until crisp-tender, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
- Cook the Shrimp: Return skillet to heat and add avocado oil. Once hot, add shrimp in batches and cook about 4 minutes, turning once, until shrimp are crisp and cooked through.
- Combine: Add cooked veggies and sauce back to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything together. The sauce will thicken slightly from the cornstarch on the shrimp. If a thicker sauce is desired, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tsp water and stir it into the pan, cooking until thickened.
- Serve: Serve hot over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Notes
- To thicken the sauce more, stir in a slurry made from 1 tsp water and 1 tsp cornstarch while cooking.
- Use pre-cut veggies to save time.
- Adjust spice level by increasing or reducing the Sriracha and red pepper flakes.
