Ingredients
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pound large shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails removed)
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups broccoli (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until smooth.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet with a splash of water, cover, and steam for 3 to 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Remove broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Add butter to the same skillet, then add the shrimp in a single layer, cooking for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
Pour the prepared honey-garlic sauce into the skillet with the shrimp.
Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens and becomes glossy.
Return the broccoli to the pan and toss everything together to coat thoroughly.
Serve warm.
Notes
Ensure you use low-sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness level. For extra texture, you can add toasted sesame seeds or sliced green onions as a garnish. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
