Stir-Fried Shrimp with Broccoli

Almost all my sauce is inside florets and around shrimps. I like it because broccoli florets taste delicious with the quite strong garlic flavor of the sauce.

Heat 1½ teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Stir in the remaining garlic and cayenne pepper to taste, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 30 to 40 seconds.

Stir in shrimp and ⅛ teaspoon salt, cook until the shrimp are pink, 2 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl.

Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the pan.

Stir in broccoli and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt or to taste, cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add water, cover and cook until the broccoli is crisp-tender, 2 to 4 minutes.

Transfer to the bowl with the shrimp.

Pour in the reserved broth or clam juice mixture to the pan and cook, stirring often, over medium-high heat, until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Stir in cilantro leaves and adjust seasoning with lemon juice and pepper to taste.

Stir in the shrimp and broccoli, heat through.

Serve with lemon wedges over the rice.
