  • Yield

    Serves 6

Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
12 ounces cooked peeled deveined medium shrimp
2 red bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large broccoli stalks, stems peeled and thinly sliced, florets reserved

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper.

    Transfer half of dressing to large bowl. Mix in shrimp and bell peppers; let marinate 15 minutes.
