Ingredients:
1 pound (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cups broccoli florets
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (to thicken the sauce)
Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and honey. Set aside.
Cook the Broccoli: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger (if using) and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Combine Ingredients: Return the broccoli to the skillet with the shrimp. Pour the sauce over the shrimp and broccoli, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Thicken the Sauce: Stir the cornstarch mixture to ensure it’s well combined, then pour it into the skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
