Thinking about something simple but tasty? Shrimp with broccoli is the one! It can be simply served on top of white rice, or as part of a multi-course meal with friends and families. The key is to keep each ingredient as fresh as possible so that the color is original and vibrant.
I used large-sized shrimps since they tend to shrink a bit after cooking. If you like any other vegetables, please feel free to add them in. That’s the beauty of stir-fry:) Just simply boil all in a pot with a few drops of oil, which helps maintain the color of ingredients. Oyster sauce is a must have for this recipe. You can get it from any Chinese or Korean grocery store, or even online. Now let’s start cooking!
