Healthier than Takeout Shrimp and Broccoli

Who needs takeout when you can make something quick, healthy and delicious at home?  I never know exactly what I'm going to make when I start pulling out ingredients.  But this is what I wound up with tonight.  It was very filling and low cal and good for you, with lots of nutrients.

I use a bag of frozen large shrimp, peeled, deveined with tails.  First thing I do is open the bag and run some hot water in it to let them start to thaw.  

Start by chopping a small onion, and some red and green peppers into small chunks.  Also chop a couple of cloves of garlic.

Pour about a Tbsp. sesame oil into a skillet and saute' the vegetables while you peel the tails off the shrimp.  After the veggies are tender, add in the shrimp and a couple of cups of fresh broccoli.  Add some Teriyaki sauce over everything.  Cover, stirring off and on until the shrimp is pink and the broccoli is crisp/tender.

Serve over brown rice.  I used the boil-in-bag.  Quick, easy and better than take-out.
