Orange Shrimp with Broccoli and fried rice

I needed to do an assignment about ads in magazines and I was going through some magazines for it. And one of the magazines I picked up, was I think Woman's day and each and every magazine had some recipes in it. I was flipping pages fast to find two ads which are either very good or bad about similar product. Anyway, during my flipping I found a dish which was interesting and the recipe was Orange Shrimp and Broccoli. I don't remember what it was called in the magazine and it was served on white rice. But I made fried rice.
