Ingredients

  • 2 lb jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 3 tablespoons oil divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper cubed
  • 2 cups fresh baby broccoli
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ tablespoon garlic finely grated
  • ½ tablespoon ginger finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

  • Pat dry the shrimp and season them with salt, garlic powder, pepper, and paprika.
  • Sprinkle cornstarch over the shrimp and coat them well.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side, then transfer to a plate once done.
  • To the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil and add the veggies to sauté: onions, bell peppers, and baby broccoli. Cook the vegetables for 3-5 minutes until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sauces: soy sauce, Gochujang sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and sesame oil.
  • Add the shrimp back to the skillet and pour the sauce mixture over them. Toss to coat. Cook until the shrimp are warmed through.
  • Serve the shrimp over rice to enjoy.

Notes

  • Prep Ingredients Before Cooking: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. T
  • Sauté Vegetables Until Tender-Crisp: When sautéing the onions, bell peppers, and baby broccoli, aim to cook them until they are tender but still slightly crisp. This will preserve their texture and vibrant color, adding freshness to the dish.
  • Thicken Sauce as Desired: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can let it simmer for a few extra minutes to reduce and thicken. Alternatively, you can mix a cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and add it to the sauce to thicken it quickly.
