    This Shrimp and Broccoli Stir-Fry comes together in less than 10 minutes and packs lots of flavor without all the sodium.

    Do you ever order the stir-fry broccoli at Asian restaurants thinking you're eating something healthy? I hate to burst your bubble, but chances are that stir-fry is loaded with sodium and oil.

    The good news is that you can make fast and easy stir-fry's at home, and I guarantee they'll be much healthier for you!

    Ingredients

    The ingredients for this Shrimp and Broccoli stir fry are simple, but feel free to add any extra veggies or sub out the shrimp for a different protein.

    • Shrimp
    • Broccoli
    • Garlic
    • Coconut Aminos
    • Soy Sauce

    With fresh broccoli, I recommend blanching the broccoli first in boiling water for a minute then rinsing it in cold water to stop the cooking process. The broccoli will be a nice vibrant green and crisp for the stir fry.

    Since this stir-fry uses a small amount of soy sauce, I built flavor with lots of fresh garlic. I used about 4 cloves and sliced them really thin. Of course I also added some heat with red pepper flakes.

    How to Make

    For any stir fry, have all your ingredients prepped and ready to go. The cooking time is very quick and you need high heat.

    Woks are traditional in Asian cooking, but I just use a large skillet.

    Fry the sliced garlic for just a minute or two to release its aroma. You can also add some sliced onions for even more flavor.

    Add the shrimp and cook until pink. Then the broccoli and sauce get added and the stir fry is done. Taste for seasoning and add more soy sauce if needed.

    Serve with your favorite rice or noodles for a complete meal.
