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.

Sriracha Shrimp with Ginger Broccoli Step by Step

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, minced
  • 1 head broccoli, chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp sriracha sauce
  • 1 egg white
  • 3/4 cup panko
  • 2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tbsp sesame oil

Preparation

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.

Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the broccoli and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and steam for 2-3 minutes.

Uncover and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp each of salt and pepper.

Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

Whisk the brown sugar, sriracha sauce, and egg white in a shallow dish.

Pour the panko into a separate shallow dish.

Dredge the shrimp in the sauce mixture and then the panko until coated, working in batches as needed.

In a large skillet, heat 3 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil over medium-high heat.

Add half of the dredged shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned.

Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

Repeat with the second batch of shrimp by adding the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp each of olive oil and sesame oil then cook the shrimp.

Serve the shrimp with the broccoli.
