Garlic Shrimp with Broccoli

My family and I love to eat seafood. Shrimp is one of our favorites and I have shared some of our shrimp recipes in the past such as Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp and Shrimp with Lemon Garlic Sauce. This garlic shrimp with broccoli dish is no exception. We loved the perfectly cooked shrimp and broccoli in the delicious sauce. Best of all, it’s easy, simple and ready in under 30 minutes. The flavorful sauce which consists of soy sauce, chicken stock, sesame oil, rice vinegar and honey is definitely the star of this dish. After preparing the sauce, the shrimp is cooked, removed from the pan and set aside. Then, the broccoli is cooked along with the aromatics. It is important not to overcook the shrimp and broccoli. The result was a delicious dish with crisp tender broccoli and soft and juicy shrimp. Yum!
