Delicious, easy to make, definitely will make again.
Kayla Mccoy
Stayed with the recipe, except for mushrooms instead of water chestnuts, and sprinkled with some red pepper flakes. Made good use of broccoli I grew in my garden!
Lisa Walker
I have a Chinese version of this with snow peas instead of broccoli that is so good but I couldn’t find snow peas so I thought I’d try this. The sauce was so bland that both my boyfriend and I picked out the prawns and broccoli and ate them with the rice. So disappointing.
Lisa Anderson
This didn’t come out like what I’m used to from Chinese takeout, and I so hoped that it would. Some of the reviews suggested it needs more oyster and soy sauce, but I’m not sure that would raise the taste to the punch I get from takeout. My search continues.

This is SOO GOOD! I pretty much doubled recipe and used XLG shrimp because it cooks down so much in size. Served over brown rice- my PICKIEST EATER gave me a DELICIOUS!
Tony Kidd
I love this recipe. I did make more sauce than the recipe called for. It wasn’t doubled, but I made the recipe and 1/2 extra and it was the perfect amount. I also substituted snow peas for the water chestnuts just as instructed time wise and it turned out fabulous. I will be keeping this recipe.

I took “Diz’s” advice, and added more soy sauce and oyster sauce, and it did need it, so it came out really well! I’ll be making it again, maybe toss in some more veggies! And the Sesame oil was a nice touch!
Bryan Solomon
Simple , satisfying and delicious ..everyone enjoyed the garlic shrimps with broccoli… but if you like spicy food then you need to spruce it up .. I added some crushed red pepper and green chilli and lemon and the dish was a hit .only difference I did was that I added stock at the end before the cornflour , so the prawns were sautéed in the soya sauce and oyster sauce … yum
Tony Wilson
I had to reduce the broth and added more vegetables since I didn’t have enough broccoli.
Stacey Collins
Super easy to make and delicious. I made a slurry for the cornstarch rather than add cornstarch directly into the hot liquid. Turned out great.
Susan Olson
I didn’t have oyster sauce, so I added chickpea miso and some five spice powder. It was delicious! Thank you!
Crystal Marshall
I thought it was was pretty good. Added more chicken broth. Used sesame oil instead of peanut oil. Did not not add the ginger or water chestnuts. Used granulated garlic and red pepper flakes. Definitely will add more garlic the next time. Threw in some scallions and cauliflower. Served over rice. I will make again w/the above adjustments.

This tasted authentic however I did make some changes. I used avocado oil instead of peanut oil. I stir fried the shrimp after adding the garlic. I then added the steamed broccoli and water chestnuts. I whisked coco aminos, chicken broth, sesame oil, ginger, cayenne pepper and cornstarch together and added it to the pan after combining the shrimp and broccoli. I didn’t have oyster sauce so I left it out. I added green onions and sesame seeds at the end. It was delicious!
Michael Short
I enjoyed this recipe, but modified the measurements and added Maggi crayfish seasoning in the mix and some extra spicy pepper flakes in the mix. It had a restaurant quality taste and look. I’m keeping this recipe.
Nancy Taylor
Made this for dinner tonight it was absolutely delicious had it over rice definitely would make it again Fastin easy recipe
Monica Cruz
Instead of using soy sauce and its high sodium count I used Coconut Aminos . Also added cut red, orange and yellow peppers along with some crimini mushrooms . Fininally served over farro .
Morgan Hebert
Quick, easy and tasty dish. I look forward to making this again. Good for lunches at work.
David Rodriguez
It was great!! I added more veggies and served it over noodles
Vanessa Smith
I had high hopes for this recipe but I agree with a previous reviewer…it was missing something. I doubled the soy & oyster sauces which didn’t seem to help. I also took the reviewers suggestion to sauté the garlic and shrimp then remove from the wok before combining all wet ingredients with cornstarch to thicken. That worked well. The recipe also says to steam broccoli before adding to dish. Big mistake. I got a wok full of mush. I may try this again but will add raw broccoli.

I made this tonight and enjoyed it. When I have had this in restaurants, it has been darker in color and sweeter. I followed the recipe exactly until ready to serve, then tasted, and added a couple of Tbsp of brown sugar to sweeten it up. Served it over white rice. It was quite good and I will make again.
Gary Nichols
This is a great Shrimp dish. I I added a little sliced carrots and served it with white sticky rice. Light and tasty…..!
