Ingredients
 
 

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp. low-sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tbsp. Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp. Dark Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
  • 2 tsp. Cornstarch
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp. Ginger Powder
  • 1 Lime Wedge about 1-2 tsp. Lime Juice

For the Shrimp and Broccoli:

  • Avocado Oil or Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
  • 8 oz. medium-sized Raw Shrimp cleaned, peeled, and deveined
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets
  • 3/4 cup chopped Red Onion about 1" pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped Green Onion
  • 2 cups cooked Brown Rice or White Rice
  • Toasted Sesame Seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Shrimp. Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat the shrimp very dry with paper towels. Season generously with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  • Make the Sauce. Combine low-sodium soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, etc. in a small bowl. Stir to combine and set aside.
  • Cook broccoli and chopped red onions. Heat one tablespoon of avocado or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the broccoli with a pinch of salt and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred. Add the chopped red onion and stir to coat in any remaining oil. (Note: if the pan seems very dry, add another tablespoon of oil to prevent anything from sticking to the pan). Cook the onions and broccoli for another 5-7 minutes until charred and slightly softened.
  • Cook the shrimp. Turn the pan down to medium heat and add the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through.
  • Add the sauce and green onions. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir to coat all of the ingredients in it. Sprinkle in the green onions and cook everything together for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is totally thickened.
  • Serve hot! Serve over warm brown rice or white rice (I love Jasmine rice specifically), or cauliflower rice if you want a low-carb dinner! Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if you’re feeling it, and enjoy.
