Sriracha Shrimp with Ginger Broccoli

Sriracha shrimp with ginger broccoli is a perfect light meal that can be scaled as needed. It’s sweet with a bit of spice!

Even though our boys haven’t liked many seafood recipes I’ve made, we still like to enjoy it when they aren’t home. Sriracha shrimp with ginger broccoli was one we made when they were staying the night with their grandparents. It works well because it’s an easy recipe to scale. We made a smaller serving since it was only the two of us. But you could easily double or triple the amount of everything without worrying about it getting out of proportion.

Justin enjoyed it because the sriracha gave the shrimp a little bit of a kick. But it wasn’t too much since I don’t like a lot of spicy foods. if you want more of that spicy flavor, you could add a bit more sriracha. Or, do as Justin did, and dip your shrimp in some after it’s cooked.

Sriracha shrimp is a great meal when you are looking for something fairly light. The sauce on the shrimp has a great sweet but spicy flavor, and the ginger broccoli is very fresh.
