Ingredients
- 1 lb frozen tail-off, peeled shrimp (thaw in the fridge or under cold running water for 5 minutes)

- 4 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, pinch of sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Heat oil in a hot skillet or wok; fry the garlic slices until fragrant, then add shrimp and stir-fry just until they turn pink.
- Add broccoli and the sauces; toss for a couple of minutes, then stir in the cornstarch slurry until lightly coated. Total cooking time: under 10 minutes.
Storage & reheating 💧
Fridge 3 days · freezer 2 months. Undercook slightly — reheating cooks the shrimp the rest of the way, and rubbery shrimp come from cooking them twice too long.

Meal-prep tip 💡 A giant bag of frozen shrimp from Costco is the single fastest weeknight protein in the store.
