    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.

        Xantham gum is missing from ingredients list.

            What is xanthum gun. Live in very small town. Do not have access to much that is requested in your recipes

            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.
