Shrimps are available worldwide, and often used in many dishes. They cook easily, so this is a perfect ingredient when cooking a meal for one. Shrimps are fairly inexpensive if you buy them frozen, and adding vegetables give the dish a refreshing crunch.

This recipe only takes a few minutes to make. You can pair this stir-fry dish to pasta, rice, or eat it on its own.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 white onion
• 1 lb of frozen shrimp
• 2 cups of broccoli florets
• 1 tbsp of soy sauce
• Half a tsp of sesame oil
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions:

This recipe takes about 10 minutes to make. Serves 4.

In a pan, heat some oil and saute onions and season with salt and pepper.
When the onions become fragrant and translucent, add shrimps and cook them on both sides for a few minutes until they turn pink.
Add the broccoli florets and cover the pan with a lid.
Cook for 5 minutes and check if the broccoli is tender using a fork.
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper flakes, and garlic.
Pour the sauce over the shrimps and broccoli.

Ideas And Tips:

• Fresh shrimp or prawns can also be used in this recipe. However, frozen shrimp is more inexpensive than fresh ones. You will be saving more if you buy frozen shrimp with their shells on, but you need to do some work to get the shells out.

• Aside from broccoli florets, you can also get some frozen mixed vegetables to add to this dish. You can also mix these frozen vegetables to other dishes like fried fish, noodles, or on their own with a little butter and salt.
