  • 1 Tbs. vegetable oil

  • 1 tsp. sesame seed oil

  • 1 cup broccoli florets

  • 3 cups fresh oyster mushrooms

  • 1 lb. large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 5 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 Tbs. ginger, minced

  • 3/4 cup chicken broth

  • 1/4 cup sherry

  • 1 Tbs. cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbs. cold water*

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

  • 1 Tbs. orange zest

  • 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

Instructions

Preparation:
Heat water in a large pot, adding a dash of salt, if desired. Add angel hair and cook until al dente. Drain well. Heat oils in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp, garlic and ginger. Saute for three to four minutes or until the shrimp begins to turn pink. Transfer vegetables and shrimp to a bowl or plate. Add chicken broth, sherry, oyster sauce, and cornstarch mixture to skillet and cook until thickened, just a few minutes. Meanwhile, place equal portions of cooked pasta on plates, top with shrimp and vegetables and pour thickened sauce over both. Top with cilantro, orange zest and pepper flakes.

*Cooking note:
To prevent lumps in the sauce, the cornstarch must be combined with cold water rather than hot.
