Instructions

  1. 01

    Thaw the shrimp, if frozen.

  2. 02

    Chop the broccoli. Thinly slice the bell peppers. Remove the stems of the shiitake mushrooms and slice (or if using baby shiitakes, you can leave the stems on).

  3. 03

    Whisk together all ingredients until a smooth sauce forms.

  4. 04

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli or broccolini, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Add 2 pinches kosher salt and cook 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp tender. Remove the vegetables to bowl.

  5. 05

    Add the additional 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the pan. Add the shrimp, green onions, and ginger (optional). Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the shrimp are almost opaque, turning once. Then add back the vegetables and the sauce. Reduce the heat to low and cook until the sauce is thickened.

Variations & swaps

Easy Variations & Add-Ins

  • There are lots of ways to customize this stir fry! You can add other vegetables, but make sure to use no more than 8 cups of vegetables total so that the veggies don’t overcrowd the pan. Here are some variations on this stir fry:
  • Different vegetables (8 cups total): Veggies that cook in 6 to 7 minutes include broccoli, bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, thinly sliced carrots. Vegetables that cook in 3 to 5 minutes are thinly sliced cabbage, zucchini, summer squash, edamame (frozen and shelled), snap peas or snow peas, or chopped bok choy.
  • Spicy version: Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes to the sauce, or drizzle with sriracha hot sauce.
  • Add noodles: Toss with soba noodles or rice noodles. Cook the noodles according to package directions, then add them to the pan with the sauce.
  • Protein swap: This sauce works well with 1 pound chicken breast, beef (like flank steak), or extra-firm tofu.
