Let’s get cooking

01
Blanch broccoli
Wash florets and slice peeled stems. Boil 2–3 minutes until just tender, then drain thoroughly.
02
Mix the sauce
Stir cornstarch, salt and measured water in a small bowl. Pat shrimp dry.
03
Cook shrimp
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, then shrimp; turn for 3–4 minutes until firm, opaque and pearly.
04
Combine
Add broccoli. Stir the sauce again and pour in; toss 1–2 minutes until the sauce bubbles and lightly coats both ingredients.
