EASY SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI STIR FRY
The easiest stir fry you will ever make in just 20 min – it doesn’t get easier (or quicker) than that! 287.3 calories.
Stir fry recipes are the best. They are so versatile and you can pretty much use whatever lingering ingredient you have in your fridge.
But I decided to keep this stir fry nice and simple. Just shrimp and broccoli.
Because believe it or not, these two ingredients are a match made in heaven. And in less than 20 minutes, you’ll really have this on the dinner table in no time.
Just be sure to have some brown rice available – cooking the rice will take longer than making this actual dish!
