Instructions

Microwave broccoli florets with water in a glass bowl for 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired tenderness.
Heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low, then pour in chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer and add the shrimp. Cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the steamed broccoli and water chestnuts to the skillet. Gently toss to coat everything evenly in the flavorful sauce. Gradually stir in cornstarch, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce thickens to your liking (about 5 minutes). Serve immediately and enjoy!
