Ingredients

  • 1 lb large or jumbo shrimp, peeled and tails removed
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • Red pepper flakes, optional
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp oil (avocado or vegetable)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, marinate the shrimp with 1 tbsp soy sauce, cornstarch, salt, and optional red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: 2 tbsp soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sriracha, sugar, and rice vinegar.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a hot wok or skillet. Add broccoli and carrots, and stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Add garlic and ginger during the last 30 seconds. Transfer vegetables to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp oil and cook shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and lightly crisped.
  5. Return vegetables to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir everything together until well coated and heated through, about 1–2 minutes.
  6. Serve hot over rice or noodles as desired.

Notes

  • Replace shrimp with diced chicken or tofu for variation.
  • Swap in vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or green beans.
  • Add pineapple chunks for a sweet flavor contrast.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
