Ingredients

0.75 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined small size, tails removed
2 cup broccoli florets cut into small, bite-sized pieces
0.5 cup sweet chili sauce store-bought or homemade
2 tbsp fish sauce or soy sauce for vegetarian option
1 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
2 tsp minced garlic about 2 cloves
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil for flavor
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Notes

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Make-Ahead: Prepare the glaze and chop ingredients up to 1 day in advance; assemble and bake just before serving for best texture. Variations: For a vegetarian version, substitute shrimp with extra-firm tofu cubes and use soy sauce instead of fish sauce. Add a sprinkle of crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for extra crunch. Serving Suggestion: Serve these bites as a unique dessert course or a sweet-and-savory appetizer. They pair well with a light green salad or steamed jasmine rice.
