If you have frozen shrimp and broccoli...
Put them in a 2-ingredient stir-fry. First, steam 1 cup of broccoli florets in a pot filled with 1/2 inch of water. Once they're tender when pierced with a knife, heat a small spoonful of sesame oil in a sauté pan. Add a chopped garlic clove and then about a cup of shrimp; when the shellfish is pink (it should take 1 or 2 minutes) add the broccoli and a splash of teriyaki sauce. Serve with brown rice or udon noodles.
