Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 tablespoons of peanut oil or any cooking oil of your choice
  • 4 large garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger root
  • 1 pound of medium-sized shrimp cleaned and deveined
  • ¼ cup canned water chestnuts drained
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch combined with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave or steamer until they are tender but still bright green (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
  • Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Take the shrimp out of the skillet and place them aside.
  • Make the sauce: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, minced garlic, and ginger. Sa Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until aromatic, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn. Stir in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and oyster sauce, and bring to a simmer.
  • Thicken the sauce: Slowly stir in the cornstarch slurry, and continue stirring until the sauce begins to thicken, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
  • Combine the ingredients: Add the cooked shrimp, steamed broccoli, and water chestnuts to the pan with the sauce. Toss everything together gently to ensure the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly.
  • Serve and enjoy: Serve the stir-fry hot over steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy your flavorful meal packed with garlic, ginger, and tender shrimp.
