- 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
- Prepare the Sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

- 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.
