Ingredients

  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled & deveined
  • 1 cup broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • cup honey
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced ( approx. 1 Tbsp)
  • 2 teaspoon minced ginger

Instructions

  • In a small bowl whisk together honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and red pepper flakes. Place shrimp in a large bowl (or ziplock bag). Pour HALF the honey mixture over the shrimp, reserving the remaining mixture for later. Stir (or shake if using ziplock bag) to coat and allow shrimp to marinate (in refrigerator) for at least 15 minutes (or up to 8-12 hours).

  • Add olive oil to skillet and return to heat over medium-high. Add shrimp to skillet, discarding the used marinade. Cook shrimp for one minute, stir and add remaining honey/soy/garlic mixture to skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes (or until shrimp are cooked through). Add broccoli to skillet and toss to coat. Garnish with sesame seeds and/or sliced green onion, if desired.
