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 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer shrimp to a plate and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped broccoli, sliced bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté the vegetables for 5 to 6 minutes until peppers are blistered and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add Garlic and Shrimp: Add the minced garlic and cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Sauté everything together for 1 more minute to combine flavors.
  5. Thicken the Sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared sauce over the shrimp and vegetables. Stir continuously for about 10 seconds until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onion, and serve immediately over cooked rice. Enjoy your delicious honey garlic shrimp stir fry!

Notes

  • You can use cooked shrimp instead of raw; just thaw and sauté for a few minutes until heated through.
  • Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like carrots, edamame, mushrooms, or cauliflower for variety.
  • Serve this stir fry over white or brown rice, or even quinoa for a wholesome meal.
  • Adjust honey and soy sauce amounts to taste for sweeter or saltier preferences.
