Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add half of the green onion, ginger, and garlic; cook, stirring, until the green onion wilts, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Add the remaining green onions, ginger, and garlic; cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, then add the broccoli and cook, stirring to coat with oil, for another 1-2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of broth. Cover and simmer until the broccoli is tender, 5-7 minutes.
Combine cornstarch with 1/4 cup water in a bowl, then add the remaining 1.5 cups broth, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Return the shrimp to the pan and add the broth mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, 1-2 minutes. Add the pasta and toss to coat.
