Ingredients

• 4 ounce shrimp (peeled, deveined)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 0.25 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 cup jasmine rice (cooked)

Instructions

1. If not already cooked, prepare 1 cup of jasmine rice according to package directions or use a microwaveable rice pouch. Keep warm.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and ground ginger until smooth. Set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and broccoli florets; stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until broccoli is vibrant and slightly tender-crisp.
4. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
5. Pour the prepared sauce into the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Toss to coat the shrimp and broccoli.
6. Serve the shrimp and broccoli stir-fry immediately over the cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

To ensure this meal is truly quick, consider using pre-cooked or microwaveable jasmine rice.
