Although the recipe originally only called for broccoli and onions, I have thrown in sliced carrots and peas, too.  It's a fabulous way to use up those leftover veggies hanging out in your crisper drawer!

Shrimp & Broccoli Stir Fry

¼ c. chicken broth

2 T. rice vinegar

2 T. soy sauce

2 tsp. cornstarch

½ tsp. dark sesame oil

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper (or ½-1 tsp. cayenne pepper)

1 T. Canola oil, divided

1 T. minced, peeled fresh ginger (or 1/8 tsp. ginger powder)

1 T. minced garlic

1 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp

¼ tsp. salt

4 c. small broccoli florets

1 c. vertically sliced onion

**I have also added carrot slices and snap peas**

Combine chicken broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, and red pepper in a small bowl.  Stir with a whisk and set aside.

Heat 2 tsp. Canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  Add ginger and garlic to pan; stir-fry 30 seconds.  Sprinkle shrimp with salt.  Add shrimp to pan and stir-fry 3 minutes or until done.  Remove shrimp mixture from the pan.

Add remaining 1 tsp. Canola oil to pan.  Add broccoli and onion (and any other veggies!) to pan.  Stir-fry 4 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender.  Add shrimp mixture and broth mixture to pan.  Cook 1 minute or until thickened, stirring constantly.

Serve with rice.

Have a Tasty Tuesday, my friends!!
