Buying fully cooked shrimp saves both prep time and cook time. Make the apricot paste the day before and you can make this dinner in a flash. Save even more time by using frozen cooked rice or making a quick-cooking whole grain such as quinoa or bulgur.

Method

Place apricots in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup with 1/4 cup water and let soak for at least 1 hour.

Transfer apricots and their soaking liquid to the bowl of a food processor and process until a paste forms, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.

Add garlic and ginger and pulse once.

With processor running, add coconut water and tamari and process just until combined. Set aside.

Bring 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add broccoli and reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring once.

Uncover, add shrimp and apricot mixture and stir until shrimp and broccoli are coated.

Continue to cook about 3 minutes or until heated through.

Stir in crushed red pepper and garnish with sesame seeds.

Serve over rice.
