Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, sriracha, cornstarch, grated garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice to make the sauce.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add broccoli florets and most of the scallions (reserve some for garnish). Stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until broccoli is lightly charred and vibrant green.
Reduce heat to medium-high. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the shrimp. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes or until shrimp are pink and opaque.
Pour in the prepared sauce and toss with shrimp, broccoli, and scallions. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything.
Remove from heat. Garnish with reserved scallions and serve immediately over cooked brown rice.

Notes

Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
Swap or add veggies like bell peppers, snap peas, or carrots.
Adjust heat by increasing or reducing sriracha.
Serve with cauliflower rice or quinoa for low-carb alternatives.
Add sesame seeds or chopped cashews for extra crunch.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking shrimp.
