Ingredients

Yield: 3 servings

For the sauce

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (slurry)

For the stir-fry

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or sesame oil
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • Optional: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using). Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender and brightly colored. If they start to dry out, add a splash of water and cover for a minute to steam slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Push broccoli to one side of the pan. Add shrimp to the other side and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the prepared honey-garlic sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the shrimp and broccoli.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions if desired. Delicious with steamed rice or quinoa.

Tips

  • Don't overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. They cook very quickly!
  • For a bit more substance, add some pre-cooked noodles or serve over brown rice.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger can be used in a pinch.
