Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 head broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Heat the Pan

In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

2. Cook the Shrimp

Add the shrimp and stir-fry until pink and opaque, about 2–3 minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables

Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots to the hot pan. Stir-fry for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.

4. Add Garlic

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

5. Combine Ingredients

Return the shrimp to the skillet. Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir everything together until evenly coated.

6. Heat Through and Serve

Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until everything is heated through. Serve hot over steamed rice or a low-carb alternative.

Notes

Use large or jumbo shrimp for better texture.
Fresh vegetables work best, but frozen can be used in a pinch.
