Description
A quick and tasty meal featuring shrimp and broccoli in a sweet and savory honey garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated 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 chopped broccoli
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl add the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper, and mix until combined.
- Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl and add 1/3 of the sauce.
- Whisk in the cornstarch to the reserved marinade and set aside.
- Heat a skillet (I use cast iron) or wok on high heat, add olive oil and broccoli, salt and pepper and cook 5-6 minutes just until soft. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the butter to the skillet and add shrimp discarding any marinade. Cook until the shrimp turns pink about 2 minutes on each side.
- Add in the reserved sauce and bring to a low-medium simmer until thickened about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the broccoli and toss until heated through.
- Serve over rice or pasta.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute shrimp with chicken or tofu for different protein options.
- This dish pairs well with steamed rice or noodles.
