Shrimp & Broccoli Stir Fry is a quick, easy and healthy dinner you can make in under 20 minutes that’s only 241 calories. A mouthwatering, one skillet meal great for a busy day! Gluten Free + Low Calorie
One word. STIR-FRY. Okay, so maybe that’s two works. According to our friend google, the word stir fry has a dash in it so you tell me. Does that mean it’s still two words or does that fancy dash marry the two making it one? Either way I have the most delicious one skillet meal in store for you today that’s not only low calorie (241 calories – I like to be exact) but also EASY PEASY to make!
I don’t know about you, but that easy part is really important to me. When I read a recipe with many twists and turns, I give up after the first paragraph. There’s just no way this girl has time for complicated. Between going to school, studying for my CPT exam, blogging, fitness and creating delicious recipes for you, I don’t have a lot of free time these days.
What makes this Easy Shrimp & Broccoli Stir Fry so easy you ask? The delicious sauce that takes seconds to measure and combine. If I were to guess, I’d say it will take you longer to gather the ingredients from your pantry than to mix them together in a bowl.
Want to know what else makes this incredible Shrimp & Broccoli Stir Fry so easy? This is a two for one kind of post you know. There’s zero produce to prep. Yep! I said it. No muss, no fuss! Just head to Walmart, pick up two bags of C&W frozen vegetables and you are ready-to-go.
Woot! Woot! But if you’re like me, then you already have ten bags of frozen broccoli in your freezer for emergencies and won’t need to go to the store. Truth! I love my frozen broccoli and if you’ve been a long time reader of SF then you know I regularly toss frozen veggies in my morning eggs, have them in a salad for lunch or as a side with my sandwiches and occasionally they make an appearance in my dinner too.
C&W frozen vegetables are my life line for when life is busy. They’re just as good as the real deal but come with serious convenience! The truth is vegetables are not one of those foods that I think to myself “oh yum…serve me up a big bowl of vegetables.”
Not gonna lie. My dreams are more along the lines of swimming in big bowls of melted chocolate. Vegetables don’t have anything on chocolate. I gotta work at eating my veggies so having the convenience of buying them frozen motivates me to eat them so I don’t feel as bad about eating my chocolate.
BUT chocolate aside, do you want to know the ultimate BEST part of this Shrimp & Broccoli Stir Fry recipe? Everyone will think you slaved for hours in the kitchen over this drool-worthy, healthy recipe and will be begging you for more! See how I did that? I saved the best for last! So whip up this crowd pleasing dinner tonight and don’t forget to take advantage of the C&W frozen vegetables good at select Walmart stores. (while supplies last)!

Shrimp and broccoli are two of our favorite dinnertime staples around here, and frozen veggies are definitely my lifeline for busy nights (um…every night?!). Looks like a great healthy meal option, Megan!
Thanks Blair!
I used to make stirfries all the freaking time. We do them a bit less now, but our schedules are very different than they used to be. But yuuuuum
You need to get back on it before it’s too hot again!
Megan, thanks for inspiring me to cook with shrimp again! I’d completely forgotten about it on my daily treadmill of food prep that involves chicken and eggs. Also, frozen veggies veggies are my absolute saviour. I have even started chopping and freezing green onion since I use it in omlettes!
Ps. Can’t wait to see where your new change in direction takes you – congrats on having the courage to follow your passion!
Thanks Jill! It’s easy to get in a food rut. I go in waves just depending on how busy I am.
I never do frozen veggies and I need to! In fact I really need to make more stir fries too. Got out of the habit but they’re so good and quick.
It would help with your fruit budget!
stir fry, stir-fry or stirfry….I don’t know?
Even google is confused!
I always get shrimp and broccoli when I go to asian restaurants! This is totally a do-able easy and healthy version for me to recreate at home!
You can’t go wrong! This one is ridiculously easy.
This contains two of my fiancee’s favorite foods: shrimp and broccoli! He could eat both all day every day. This is one worth bookmarking for me to make for him.
You’ll have to let me know how he likes it Lisa!
I love when you can just throw some frozen veggies in and dinner is ready in no time. I’m super lazy about how long I want to be cooking dinner.
I am during the week. I have too much going on!
OOHHHHH my favorite combo ever shrimp and broccoli. Frozen veggies are my jam right now 🙂 They are so budget friendly!!
It certainly what I’m living off of lately. I’m even thinking of planting a small garden in a few weeks.
Saw your pic on Instagram and it just made my mouth water!! Can’t wait to try it this week.
Thanks Daisy, hope you love it!
You nailed it! Looks just like TAKE OUT! 😉 Except 10x healthier!
Take out at Megan’s house! 😉
Can I substitute something else for the oyster sauce?
Fish sauce would work but the flavor will be different.
