Tips

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp quickly: Overcooking shrimp will make them tough and rubbery. Cook them for just a few minutes, until they are opaque and pink.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make this dish shine. Be sure to use a sauce that has a lot of flavor, such as a garlic sauce, a teriyaki sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
  • Serve the shrimp with rice or noodles: Shrimp with broccoli is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The rice or noodles will help to soak up the sauce and make the dish more filling.

Conclusion

Shrimp with broccoli is a quick and easy dish to make that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with protein and vegetables. By following these tips, you can make a delicious shrimp with broccoli dish that your family and friends will love.
