- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce

- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and toss in the broccoli. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

- For a spicier dish, increase the red pepper flakes or add chili paste.
- To vary the protein, use chicken, beef, or tofu instead of shrimp.
