Ingredients

Units Scale

Shrimp and Cooking Fat

  • 1 lb raw shrimp
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Vegetables

  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms, quartered
  • 1/3 red pepper, cubed
  • 1 1/2 cups medium broccoli florets
  • 3 Tbsp garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp ginger, grated

Stir Fry Sauce

  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce (or hot sauce)

Optional Garnishes

  • Green onion, optional
  • Sesame seed, optional

Instructions

  1. Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions: In the same skillet, add another 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil along with the finely chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onion becomes tender and translucent.
  3. Cook Vegetables: Add 2 tablespoons of butter, broccoli florets, quartered mushrooms, and cubed red pepper to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables reach your desired level of tenderness.
  4. Add Aromatics: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 30 seconds to release their flavors without burning.
  5. Prepare and Add Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, and sriracha sauce. Pour this mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and cook over medium heat while stirring until the sauce thickens and coats the vegetables evenly.
  6. Combine and Reheat: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to reheat them and combine with the sauce and vegetables.
  7. Serve: Optionally garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving. Enjoy this fresh and flavorful dish warm.
