# Ingredients:
→ Protein
01 -
450g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
→ Vegetables
02 -
180g broccoli florets
03 -
2 green onions, sliced
→ Sauce
04 -
85g honey
05 -
2 tbsp soy sauce
06 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
07 -
1 tbsp olive oil
08 -
1 tsp cornstarch (optional)
→ Seasonings
09 -
1/4 tsp salt
10 -
1/4 tsp black pepper
11 -
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
02 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.
03 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small drizzle of olive oil. Arrange the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to turn pink.
04 -
Flip the shrimp, then immediately pour the honey garlic sauce into the pan. Stir gently to coat the shrimp as the sauce simmers and thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. The shrimp should be fully cooked and the sauce glossy.
05 -
Once the shrimp are cooked and the sauce is glossy, transfer the shrimp to a plate.
06 -
In the same skillet, add the broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
07 -
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss everything together in the sauce. Serve immediately while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Use large shrimp (not small) for better texture.
02 -
Don't overcook — shrimp are done as soon as they turn opaque and curl slightly.
03 -
If you prefer more sauce for serving over rice, you can double the sauce ingredients without changing the shrimp quantity.
04 -
Pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa, or simple sautéed vegetables.
05 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
06 -
Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
