Broccoli with shrimp and hot pepper
6 servings
20 minutes
The combination of cabbage and shrimp only seems controversial at first glance, but in fact, they are easy to "marry" with the help of a caramel-thick and rich dressing with ginger, lime, fish and soy sauces. The shrimp cook quickly, literally a couple of minutes, during which time the broccoli will not have time to soften, preserving both color and texture. And if you add rice or noodles to the appetizer, you will get a beautiful full dinner in Asian style.
