Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Main

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled, deveined and tails removed if desired
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.
  2. Marinate the shrimp: Place the peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl and add one-third of the sauce to coat. Set aside to marinate for up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor.
  3. Thicken the sauce: Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining reserved marinade and set it aside for later use.
  4. Cook the broccoli: Heat a skillet or wok over high heat, add olive oil, chopped broccoli, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until just tender, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Cook the shrimp: Add butter to the same skillet and discard any leftover marinade from the shrimp. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook about 2 minutes on each side until the shrimp turns pink.
  6. Simmer the sauce: Pour the reserved cornstarch-thickened sauce into the skillet with the shrimp, reduce heat to low-medium, and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Combine and finish: Add the cooked broccoli back into the skillet, toss everything together, and heat through.
  8. Serve: Serve the honey garlic butter shrimp and broccoli over cooked rice or pasta as desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  • Jumbo 16/20 size shrimp are preferred, but smaller shrimp can be used; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Keeping shrimp tails on adds flavor and visual appeal, but they can be removed if preferred.
  • Use fresh broccoli for best texture, or thaw and pat dry frozen broccoli before cooking.
