Shrimp and Broccoli in Garlic Sauce, one sauce for many dishes 蒜香西兰花炒虾，一调料多用

Hi everyone, today we're going to make a very easy and delicious shrimp and broccoli. The key to this dish is the sauce. I'm going to show you how to make it. I call it garlic sauce. If you are vegetarians, you can use this sauce to make just broccoli or any other vegetables you like. Now let's make the sauce. Before we make a sauce, I'm going to season the shrimp with a little bit of salt. I have eight shrimp, cleaned and deveined. And I have about half a pound of broccoli. Cut it up. For the sauce, we just use the white part of the green onions. Finely. And I have five cloves of garlic. You have to chop it up. You can mince it. Okay, now we're going to make the sauce. Add the white part of the green onions and minced garlic. I've saved some for the shrimp. And then a little bit of salt, soy sauce, about a tablespoon. Anyway, we don't need to measure, right? Chinese cooking is about baking. And drizzle some sesame oil. And about a teaspoon of cornstarch. So I'm making a slurp. And some filtered water, about about a quarter cup of water. Mix them well. So that is our sauce. And next, we're going to boil the broccoli quickly. Our water is boiling. Let's add broccoli. And we're going to cook about two minutes. After about two minutes, we're going to strain the broccoli. And we're ready to cook. Now we are heating up the pan to medium heat to cook the shrimp first. Add a little oil. I will add some garlic. Now ready to put the shrimp in. Now the reason I'm using medium heat, you know, we don't want a high heat and to have the shrimp cooked outside but not cooked inside. The shrimp normally takes about three minutes. So about three minutes. The shrimp is pink and curly. Now we're going to add broccoli. Turn the heat to high and add our sauce. Mix well before we add it. Smells good. Let it cook about half a minute to incorporate the sauce. Taste it. Perfect. Doesn't need to be adjusted. Got our shrimp all coated with the sauce. And we're ready to serve the shrimp and broccoli. Let me try this for you guys. Smell very good with the garlic sauce. Broccoli is crunchy. I love it. With the garlic sauce, it's delicious. And shrimp, perfectly done. So good. Hope you guys are going to try this very easy and delicious recipe. And I'm going to continue to eat. Thank you so much for watching. See you next time.
