Heat the oil in a large wok or large, deep, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 3 minutes until they start to turn pink, stirring frequently.
Add the broccoli to the skillet stir well to combine, add the prepared sauce, cook 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are cooked through.
