Spicy Orange Shrimp with Broccoli

It was Chinese take-out night in our house the other day.  This is what I made.  I found this recipe in the WW, "In One Pot" cookbook.

Spicy Orange Shrimp with Broccoli
Serves: 4
Points: 4

Ingredients

1 pound extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp grated peeled fresh ginger
2 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1 (12 oz bag) fresh broccoli florets
1/4 cup water
2 cups hot cooked white rice

Instructions

1) Combine the shrimp, 1 tbsp of the cornstarch, the ginger, and orange zest in a medium bowl; toss to coat.

2) Combine the remaining tbsp of cornstarch, the broth, orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, and crushed red pepper in a small bowl, set aside.

3) Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium high heat.  Add the shrimp mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are just opaque in the center, 3-4 minutes.  Transfer the shrimp to a plate.

4) Add the broccoli and water to the skillet (note, it took a little more water for me).  Cook stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the water evaporates, about 3 minutes.  Add the broth mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture bubbles and thickens.  Add the cooked shrimp and heat through.  About 1 minute.  Serve over rice.
