Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed if desired
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, add honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper. Mix until combined.
  2. Place peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl. Add one-third of the sauce.
  3. Whisk cornstarch into the reserved marinade. Set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet or wok over high heat. Add olive oil and broccoli, then season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes until soft. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  5. Add butter to the skillet. Add shrimp, discarding any marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink, about 2 minutes per side.
  6. Add the reserved sauce and bring to a low-medium simmer. Cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add the broccoli and toss until heated through. Serve over rice or pasta.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've often swapped the broccoli for asparagus or even green beans when I'm out of florets.
They cook up beautifully in the same way, just keep an eye on
