Garlicky Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry

Garlicky Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry

For a quick, nourishing meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor, this Garlicky Shrimp & Broccoli Stir-Fry is a go-to option. Ready in about 20 minutes, it’s a simple one-pan dish that brings together crisp-tender broccoli, sweet red bell pepper, and juicy shrimp—all infused with a vibrant garlic and lemon sauce. It’s a satisfying combination of lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, and heart-healthy fats that supports energy, digestion, and immune function.

Shrimp is a high-quality protein source that’s low in fat and rich in selenium, iodine, and vitamin B12—important nutrients for thyroid function and cellular energy. Garlic adds more than just flavor; it’s known for its immune-supporting, antimicrobial, and heart-healthy properties. And broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable, is loaded with antioxidants like sulforaphane, which supports detoxification and reduces inflammation.

Whether you’re cooking for a busy weeknight or looking to include more nutrient-dense meals in your routine, this stir-fry delivers bold taste and balanced nutrition—all in one skillet.
