I am excited to share today’s shrimp and broccoli stir-fry with you. The sweet and sour shrimp with fresh broccoli combination is delicious and healthy. If you are looking for an easy-to-make dinner recipe, I would recommend giving this a try.

To make this dish, you’ll need cooked shrimp, broccoli florets, sliced tomato, ginger and chopped green onion, quite simple. 

I began by adding the broccoli into salted boiling water, cook until they are crisp-tender (takes about 2 minutes once the water returns to a boil) and cool it down with ice water. This quick and simple technique is called blanching. For presentation, I arranged the broccoli florets around the edge of the plate.

When it’s time to make the sauce. I sautéd the ginger and scallion first until it’s fragrant, then I poured the seasonings into the pan and heated until simmering. 

I made the seasoning mixture by combining ketchup, water, cooking wine, salt, sugar and black pepper in a bowl and setting aside before cooking. 

The role of tomato in this dish is to achieve a stronger umami taste and add texture. It should be add into the pan before the shrimp and sautéed until soft.

Cooked shrimps take just 1-2 minutes to heat through, they should be added last. Make sure to stir frequently so the sauce will be evenly spread.

Enjoy this delicious shrimp and broccoli stir fry with a bowl of rice or noodle for a fast and delicious meal. I guarantee you’ll love the sweet and sour shrimp!
