First, remove the head, shell, legs and devein the shrimp.

Clean the deveined shrimp thoroughly with cold running water.

Drain in a colander, then use paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Season the shrimp with salt and ground white pepper.

Cut the broccoli florets into smaller pieces.

Blanch the broccoli in boiling water for two minutes, remove, and drain.

Heat some vegetable oil in a pan or wok.

Pan-fry the seasoned shrimp over medium-high heat until slightly brown on both sides.

Remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon and leave the remaining oil in it.

Saute the garlic in the remaining oil until it becomes aromatic.

Add the blanched broccoli and stir-fry until it is crisp and tender.

Prepare the stir-fry sauce by mixing light soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce, salt, and water.

Add the stir-fry sauce to the broccoli.

Make a cornstarch slurry by combining cornstarch with cold water.

Drizzle the cornstarch slurry into the wok to thicken the gravy.

Finally, return the cooked shrimp to the pan, drizzle a tablespoon of Shaoxing wine, and mix well; it is now ready to be served.
