Stir Fried Shrimp with Broccoli

We eat rice almost everyday. Probably for lunch and dinner, sometimes breakfast as well. With rice, we make curries, soup, and various kind of stir fried dishes. You bet we had tons of recipes just for stir-frying.

What I love most about stir-fry was not only it’s fast track nature but the way it’s allow the ingredients to stay fresh and moist. Like this dish, Stir Fried Shrimp with Broccoli, it’s like we cook it right by the seaside with a basketful of fresh vegetable from the garden. The shrimp are sweet and juicy, and the broccoli is just fresh and crunchy. When everything mixes in hot rice, it just feels like heaven for me.

1. Heat oil in a pan over high heat. and sauté garlic until aromatic.

2. Add shrimp and stir briefly for about thirty seconds or so. The shrimp shouldn’t be cooked right away. They should slightly turn pink on the outside.

It’s simply juicy. Everything is juicy. The flavor is perfect. I just love the oyster sauce flavor with broccoli. For me, this is the way to go with these intensely green slices. With rice, every bite is so good.
