Ingredients
  

For the Dish:
  • 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup broccoli florets frozen or fresh
  • 1 tablespoon oil neutral like canola or vegetable
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. Start by peeling and deveining your shrimp if they’re not prepped. Rinse them under cold water and set aside. If you’re using fresh broccoli, chop it into small florets. If using frozen, you can skip this step.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. This will create a deliciously sticky sauce that will coat the shrimp and broccoli beautifully. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Allow it to get hot, but not smoking.
  4. Add the shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. If using fresh, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they are vibrant green and slightly tender. If using frozen, cook until heated through.
  6. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the mixture, tossing everything to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the shrimp are heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately! This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or noodles. Don’t forget to drizzle some extra sauce over the top for added flavor.

Notes

  • Substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • Feel free to add seasonal vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
