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 Ingredients

  • 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 blended.
  2. Marinate the Shrimp. Place peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl and pour in one-third of the sauce to coat them. Set aside to marinate briefly or longer for deeper flavor.
  3. Thicken the Sauce. Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining reserved marinade and set aside for later use.
  4. Cook the Broccoli. Heat olive oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add chopped broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until just tender. Remove broccoli from the pan and set aside.
  5. Cook the Shrimp. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the marinated shrimp, discarding any leftover marinade. Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
  6. Add the Sauce. Pour in the reserved thickened sauce and bring it to a low to medium simmer. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp.
  7. Combine and Heat Through. Return the cooked broccoli to the skillet and toss everything together until the broccoli is heated through and evenly coated with the sauce.
  8. Serve. Plate the shrimp and broccoli mixture over cooked rice or pasta and enjoy your meal.

Notes

  • Marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes to enhance the flavor even more.
  • Jumbo 16/20 size shrimp work best, but you can use any size; smaller shrimp will cook faster.
  • Leaving shrimp tails on adds flavor and visual appeal, but removing them is fine if preferred.
  • If using frozen broccoli, thaw and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
