This teriyaki shrimp broccoli stir fry is ready in 30 minutes and is the perfect Asian dinner when you want something quick and easy! It will keep reappearing on your table once you’ve tried it out!
We are talking saucy, spicy and very easy teriyaki shrimp broccoli stir fry here. It’s what a girl makes when she has an empty fridge staring back at her and has a growling stomach for a reminder.
I always have some frozen shrimp in the fridge and we eat so much broccoli in the house that we should actually be green. But no jokes today guys, because this is some serious 30 minute dinner recipe discussions. I know how much you love these easy, healthy and quick recipes and I’m always always wanting to bring you more.
This is easily one of those which is soul satisfying and gives me more time for Netflix. Adding Amazon Prime to the list. Because one source of binge watching wasn’t enough. Don’t judge me and my lazy bum but I can’t help falling down the spiral of episode 1 to 10 in a day anymore. I don’t even resist. I just succumb because it’s so much easier than trying to work and failing at it because you can’t stop thinking about what happens in the next episode.
And then I realize that it’s 8 PM and I have no idea what I’m making for dinner. So I quickly dunk some frozen shrimp into water and hope that it thaws quickly, cut up some broccoli and every other vegetable I have lying around. Easy, teriyaki shrimp broccoli stir fry done.
In other BIG news, I’m SEVEN days away from the clock striking 12 and turning 30. THIRTY did you say? I’m going to the darker side and the more exciting side of life, hopefully. But when did I get here so fast? Is this what 30 year olds do? Binge watch TV shows all day and then scramble to make dinner? Life still seems easy and fun and has all kinds of happy endings. Is 30 supposed to be feel old and miserable and responsible and when you have life in control? I’m going to ignore all these adult like feelings and pour some of that sauce on my rice and teriyaki shrimp broccoli stir fry. Because I need this more in my life right now.
How to make Teriyaki Shrimp Broccoli Stir Fry
To take care of all the scary 30 year old feelings. Welcome to adulting.
Back to basics now.
The Sauce
Teriyaki Sauce is made of simple, easily available ingredients such as low sodium light soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger and garlic. I like to add a dash of toasted sesame oil and some chilli flakes for extra heat too.
Add more veggies to Teriyaki Shrimp
Any number of veggies can be added while making a Teriyaki Shrimp. This is a great way to get more fiber. I love adding broccoli, mushrooms, bell peppers, snap peas, beans etc.

Notes
- Finish the prep work before you start cooking as this dish comes together very quickly. It’s also made on a high flame and the ingredients cook much faster.
- You can add vegetables of your choice like zucchini, broccoli, mushroom, bell pepper, onions etc.,
- This dish can easily be made with readily available stir fry sauces as well. Directly use the packaged stir fry sauce in place of soy sauce, honey and rice vinegar. Add honey depending on your taste in accordance with the flavours of the stir fry sauce.
I have been looking for a stir fry worh a good sauce for a while…really good! My kids asked if we could have this every night
That’s such a big compliment! Thank YOU
This is the first time I have cooked anything remotely Asian. It was fantastic recipe . Will be making it again
Really glad you liked it Anthony!
I made this last night and it was a hit! I added mushrooms but otherwise followed the recipe. The sauce was delicious!
Thanks! Really glad you liked it 🙂
I’m with you, I am all about the stir fry. Easy, quick, and generally nutritious.
Thanks Susan!
This recipe is perfect! Very tasty and quick and easy to prEpare. I actually doubled the sauce and it worked perFectly.
Yay! Really glad you liked it Rimmy. That teriyaki sauce is sooo good.
I made this tonight, serving it with whole grain spaghetti. I was afraid of overcooking the shrimp, so I cooked the veggies part way first then added the shrimp. Instead of using red pepper flakes, I used the same amount of spicy Thai spice. It could have used twice that, but it was still good. I really like that you had a recipe for Teriyaki sauce, as I wanted something little different than stir fry with soy sauce. Thanks. My husband and I enjoyed it.
Thanks for your feedback Betty. I’m really glad you liked it. But why have you given this recipe 1 star? Five stars is actually the highest and one is the lowest 🙁
Previously broccoli and shrimp I haven’t eaten at all. But when I started to exclude fast food and other products that are harmful to me and began to pay more attention to the diet, my tastes changed. And now these recipes are of great interest. Thanks for sharing. Looks amazing.
I made this tonight and my family loved it. Super easy and filling using good frozen shrimp along with the rest of ingredient s required. Thank you for the super receipt .
