This Shrimp Broccoli and Sweet Peppers in a one pot skillet is not only easy to make but absolutely delicious, and highly recommended on your next dinner in at home. This dish is a touch spicy, tossed in aromatic ingredients like ginger and garlic and paired with crunchy sweet peppers and medium-soft broccoli and hints of toasted sesame.

What to pair your Shrimp, Broccoli and Sweet Pepper With?
I Upped my Shrimp and Broccoli game by adding some red bell peppers. This one-skillet recipe came together in less than 15 minutes and is a fabulous choice for weeknight dinners. For a perfect sear on the shrimp, I use a cast iron skillet. I used my @lodgecastiron 10.25” skillet from start to finish.
I enjoy pairing my shrimp dish with a combination of household ingredients including:
Noodles (the choice is yours)
White Rice
Fried Rice
Salad
