5. Add broccoli and cook another 4 minutes until crisp-tender.

Step 3: Add Shrimp
6. Stir in butter until melted.
7. Add shrimp and cook 2 minutes per side, flipping once, until pink and opaque.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp—they become tough quickly. Cook just until opaque.

Serve with steamed jasmine rice, brown rice, or cauliflower rice for a lighter option.

Add extra vegetables like snap peas or carrots for variation.

Can be made gluten-free by using tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
