Victoria's Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Victoria's Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Anyone can make this super easy stir-fry dish. You may need to plan ahead a bit to purchase any of the ingredients that you may not have in your pantry. For plump shrimp and crisp broccoli, however, you should stir-fry them at a high heat very quickly.
