Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry



I’m so hungry for this Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry, my belly thinks my throat’s been cut off.

It felt good getting that out there. I hope I didn’t hurt your ears!

Hey Hey, pals! How are YOU? Happy day, Happy Wednesday!

Lemme tell you… I swear on this pile of blog-grocery-receipts sitting next to me that life does not get busier than in the month of September. I don’t know if the Holiday Season can even amount to the month that kids go back to school, back to sports, back to life, back to reality. I’m over.it.

For that reason, dinners like Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry, Chicken in Foil, and One Sheet Pan Salmon have been a part of our dinner rotation, on the daily.

That’s a lie. I don’t cook dinners, daily. Every other day, maybe, but not every single day. That’s pushin’ it.

OH wait.

I do cook every day. It’s how I get to hang out with YOU! High FIVE!

Since I am pretty sure that your life looks very similar to mine – unless your kids are grown, you’ve retired, and are living at a Five Star Resort – I wanted to share my version of this ever so popular Chinese dish that is quick to make, tasty as can be, but the picky eaters won’t even think about touching it. Apparently, shrimp isn’t as popular as chicken nuggets among the 3 to 6 age group. Just an FYI.

I really want you to make this. I don’t ask for much, do I? Other than wanting you to make every single recipe I post.

I’m also looking for laughter, affirmation, and pins. Kidding! Almost… 😉

Also? I’m leaving for Denver tomorrow. That means I have to fly, which means I am terrified. Prayers, please!

ENJOY!

P.S. I want you to use fresh shrimp. Don’t look at what I used. I do things to make pretty-errr pictures, remember?

Okay, Buh Bye!

    How can you make beef and broccoli using this recipe or do you have a recipe
    for it seperately?

      Hi Christina! I would just do it the same, but maybe cook the shrimp just until they’re heated through. Make sure your shrimp is thawed and dry.

      Hi! Yes, absolutely. Just cut up the chicken in bite sizes, toss it with the corn starch and follow the recipe as is.

  2. I just made this for lunch. Simple, fast and delicious! I follow your IG account and that’s how I came upon the recipe. YUM! Thank you.

    I noticed that you did not put how many cups per serving plus how many calories and fat. I am watching my intake on calories. It would help me to know the calories and fat of your recipes. The shrimp and broccoli looks good but how much of the shrimp, broccoli and rice can we eat not going overboard.

    Thanks for your attention on this matter.

  5. Can I substitute the rice vinegar for white? (I’m not a suuuuper experienced cook so I don’t know everything about different types of ingredients so that one is uncommon to me)
    Thanks and can’t wait to make this this week!

      Hi Candi! Yes, you can absolutely go ahead and use white vinegar, but the taste of rice vinegar is much stronger. The dish won’t taste quite as it should, but close enough. 😀

  6. Made this last night and it was yummy! How many servings does this recipe make? I assume it is for four and the nutritional information provided is for 1/4 of the recipe. Is that correct?

  7. I’m making this right now! Two cups of broccoli sure doesn’t seem like much compared to a pound of shrimp! 😀 Is that the correct measurement of broccoli? (It looks like a lot more than 2 cups in the pics too!)

      Hi Becky!! I guess that depends on how big the broccoli florets are. How did it work out for you? Did you use more broccoli? Would love to know if you enjoyed the stir fry! 😀

    We LOVE shrimp and eat it regularly. My kiddos love it too luckily! I need to make this dish for us too!

      This dish was delicious fast and easy. I used a 2lb bag of frozen peeled shrimp and 2 large heads of broccoli. I served it with steamed brown rice. Will definitely be making it again.

    I do love a good shrimp stir fry, and if it’s cooked in less than 20 minutes that’s a big win in my book!
