This is a nice light tasting dish. It’s actually quite tasty as long as you don’t use the xanthan gum.

We used a TBS of cornstarch instead of xantham gum. This is a light sauce that doesn’t overpower the shrimp or broccoli. We also added sesame seeds on top and a little red pepper flakes.

  I would say 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum. I made it with 1/8 tsp because I heard it gets slimy if you use too much., but it didn’t thicken. It was good, but could’ve been thicker. I’ll make it again for sure, but use 1/4 tsp.

  I put the whole mixture in a blender and than tried it, bland tasting, squeezed a lemon wedge and sprinkled buffalo sauce on finished recipe to give it some taste.
