Ingredients

Shrimp and Vegetables

  • 1 lb. raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 head broccoli chopped
  • 2 bell peppers sliced
  • 2 cups snow peas
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • green onion for garnish

Sauce

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sauce: Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth, then set aside to use later.
  2. Cook Shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil along with the chopped broccoli, sliced bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté for 5-6 minutes or until the peppers start to blister and vegetables are tender-crisp. Then add the minced garlic and the cooked shrimp back to the skillet and sauté for 1 additional minute to combine flavors.
  4. Add Sauce: Reduce the heat to low, pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables, and stir continuously for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and coats everything evenly.
  5. Serve: Garnish the stir fry with chopped green onions, serve over cooked rice, and enjoy your flavorful honey garlic shrimp stir fry.

Notes

  • If using cooked shrimp, thaw it completely and warm in the skillet for a few minutes instead of cooking raw shrimp.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables such as carrots, edamame, mushrooms, or cauliflower for variety.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Adjust honey quantity to taste for a sweeter or less sweet sauce.
