20-Minute Skinny Sriracha Shrimp and Broccoli

Spicy Shrimp and Broccoli Recipe

Today’s new recipe is one near and dear to my heart. It’s got shrimp! It’s got sriracha! It’s healthy, hearty, and even boasts a pop of green thanks to the crunchy broccoli. Basically what I’m saying is this dish right here… it’s everything ♡♡♡ And you should totally make it for dinner tonight!

This 20 Minute Skinny Shrimp Stir-fry is truly a 20 minute meal, which is great for days when you don’t want to be chained to the stove for very long. To keep the cook time as short as it’s intended to be, I recommend purchasing shrimp that have already been peeled, as indicated in the ingredient list below. If you prefer to use shrimp with shells, you’ll want to add an extra 7 minutes or so to the total time this will take you. Peeling shrimp is easy, but time consuming.

Lately I’ve been serving this easy meal with a simple side salad, but rice or even lo mein noodles would make wonderful meal additions if you want to create something a little heartier 😉

This 20-Minute Skinny Sriracha Shrimp and Broccoli is exploding with flavor! This healthy meal is ready to eat in just 20 minutes and is always a hit with my family. Skip the takeout and make this  easy shrimp and broccoli stir fry instead.

Ditch the take-out tonight! This shrimp and broccoli is calling your name – and trust me, you want to answer. xoxo

20-Minute Skinny Sriracha Shrimp and Broccoli

Prep 10 mins

Cook 10 mins

Total 20 mins

Author bakerbynature

Yield 4 servings

Plump shrimp and crunchy broccoli are cooked in a delicious sriracha soy sauce. A quick and easy meal you're sure to love!

Ingredients

  • For the brown sauce:
  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon orange juice (fresh, preferably)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sriracha hot sauce
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated (you may also use bottled ginger if you cannot find fresh)
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Additional Ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (try to buy them already prepared this way to save on time)
  • 4 cups (about 2 large heads) broccoli florets

Instructions

  1. For the Brown Sauce:
  2. In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, orange juice, sriracha, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch; whisk well to combine; set aside.
  3. To cook:
  4. Heat the sesame oil (1 1/2 tablespoons) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once warm, add in the shrimp and cook - flipping them once - until pink; about 3 minutes. Add in the broccoli and continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until the broccoli is bright green and tender; about 3-4 minutes. Add in the sriracha soy mixture, stir well to coat the shrimp and broccoli, and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and serve at once! This goes great with a small salad, rice, or even pasta (like lo mein).

    Cooked this tonight for my husband & my parents. Really was quick, easy and Oh! So good!! My daughter and I cooked the Spicy Shrimp Sriracha Lo Mein together one night and that was even better. Cooked it again for hub/parents and doubled recipe. Perfect! A new favorite. ♡

    I cooked this tonight with a couple of friends and it was so delicious. I usually find that a lot of ‘quick’ recipes are anything but, but this really was very quick and easy to whip up.

    I made this recipe tonight and my husband LOVED it! A little spicy for me, but I’m not huge for spices. I was wondering if there was an approximate calorie or nutrition info for this meal??

    Looks delicious but not into spicy food. Hoping it doesn’t lose much flavour without it. I do have one question though…the recipe says to use peeled shrimp but the pictures shows tails on. I often wonder why some dishes come that way. For example, shrimp in garlic sauce is served in restaurants like Red Lobster with tails on. What a mess trying to eat them. How I wish they would serve them ready to eat.

      Is there a substitute for Sriracha sauce. Trying to avoid very spicy dishes.

        I was thinking the same thing. I was going to try sweet Thai chili sauce as that isn’t too spicy. Haven’t gotten to it yet, but it is on my list for the week.

    This was SOOO good and quick! I took it for lunch the next couple days as leftovers as well. I may add peanuts or cashews next time to give it a little more of a Chinese food dish feel. Thanks!

    This was very good and a quick meal! A couple of things I took the shrimp out to make sure they didnt overcook and then cooked the broccoli with a little extra olive oil (sesame oil stinks) or u could cook the broccoli first and then add the shrimp for a couple min. Then add the sauce. You do have to double the sauce and there was no mention of sesame seeds like the picture shows and if u wanted to add onions or carrots that would be good too.

    Made this tonight and it was very easy and very tasty. Made a couple of changes. Added extra tablespoon of orange juice and another teaspoon of cornstarch. Only had 1.5 pounds of shrimp and a 12 oz bag of frozen broccoli. Sauted frozen broccoli first, then added shrimp, then sauce. Served over brown rice. Was definitely on the spicy side. Would probably do more oj or less sriracha.
