Make
- Toss shrimp with seasoning.
- Heat a wok or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil and then broccoli to heated oil. Saute broccoli until it turns bright green. Add soy sauce and then cover with a lid. Steam broccoli, covered, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove lid and add garlic to broccoli. Saute together for 2 minutes more.
- Set broccoli aside.
- Wipe pan clean and return to medium-high heat. Add second part of oil and then shrimp to heated oil. Using tongs, arrange shrimp in a single layer so they cook more evenly. Cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until shrimp is golden.
- Remove from heat and toss shrimp with sauce, walnuts, and cilantro.
- If quinoa was made ahead, reheat in the microwave.
- Serve shrimp over broccoli and quinoa. Enjoy!

Husband, "Phenomenal. Make it again." Really great flavors. We like spicy. Made with rice and a different veggie: zucchini because that's what I had on hand.
0 Helpfulfollowed recipe as is except used greek yogurt instead of mayo (which worked well). overall thought the dish was ok. wouldn't necessarily make it again.
0 HelpfulYummy but I only used half of the sriacha. Also I recommend cutting the broccoli up fairly small.
0 HelpfulWe've eaten the earlier version of this dish. This was again delicious but even with cutting the amount of sriracha in half it was hot. Maybe the new bottle of sriracha? I see there's a label that says shake well...
0 HelpfulIt was a great easy meal, but even half the amount of sriracha was a little too spicy for us. I’d use even less next time.
