Shrimp Broccoli Honey Garlic (Printable Version)

Shrimp and broccoli tossed in a buttery honey garlic glaze with ginger. It's quick, tasty, and a little sweet and savory.

# What You'll Need:

→ For the Sauce

01 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
02 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
03 - 2 tablespoons minced garlic
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
05 - 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
06 - 1/2 cup honey

→ For the Main Dish

07 - Black pepper, to taste
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
10 - 2 cups chopped broccoli
11 - 2 tablespoons butter
12 - 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails can be left on or off

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Toss your cooked broccoli into the pan with everything else and stir things around until it's all warmed through. Dish it up while it’s still hot. Try it over pasta or rice if you want.
02 - Dump the sauce you held onto in with the shrimp. Give it a good stir while it comes up to a low simmer and keep mixing every so often until it turns nice and thick, which should take about 2–3 minutes.
03 - Turn down the heat to medium-high. Pop the butter in until it melts, add the shrimp (toss out the marinade), and cook a couple minutes each side. They're done when they're pink and no longer see-through.
04 - Crank up a skillet or wok on high heat. Pour in your olive oil, then toss in broccoli, season with salt and pepper, and fry while stirring for 5 or 6 minutes. Take it out once it’s just fork-tender.
05 - Whisk the cornstarch into what’s left of your sauce until there aren't any lumps. Set it aside till you need it later.
06 - Get your peeled and deveined shrimp in a bowl, pour in about a third of the sauce, and roll them around so they’re all coated. Let that sit out for a bit.
07 - Toss honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes into a small bowl. Mix everything until it looks smooth and blended.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Let your shrimp soak for half an hour to amp up flavor.
02 - Jumbo 16/20 shrimp feel fancy and have a great bite, but smaller ones work too if you tweak the cook time.
03 - Leaving tails on gives extra flavor and looks cool, but it’s up to you if you take them off.
04 - You can use fresh broccoli or thawed frozen. Just make sure frozen ones are dry before frying.
