# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Put the shrimp and broccoli mix on the cooked rice. Top everything with green onions and chopped peanuts.
02 - Throw shrimp back into the skillet, ladle the sauce over them, and cook for another 60 seconds until hot.
03 - Turn the heat to low. Toss broccoli in the pan, cover loosely, and let it warm for 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl till smooth. Slowly add this to the boiling sauce while stirring until it thickens up.
05 - Pour the sauce mix (skip the cornstarch and water for now) right into the skillet and get it bubbling.
06 - Sauté broccoli in the hot skillet on medium-high heat for 4 minutes until it’s a bit tender. Take it out and set aside.
07 - Heat peanut oil on medium-high. Add shrimp and cook each side about 1 minute 20 seconds until they turn opaque. Move shrimp to a plate.
08 - Grab a bowl and stir together chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Put it aside.
09 - Make sure shrimp are fully thawed. Pat them dry and remove shells, tails, and veins if needed.

# Helpful Tips:

01 - Using big shrimp helps avoid them getting rubbery. Tweak the red pepper flakes for your heat. Best to eat right away for the best taste.
