Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

4 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame oil (or additional olive oil)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Shrimp and Broccoli: If you haven’t already, peel and devein the shrimp. Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and set aside.

    Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, grated ginger, and cornstarch (if using). Set this sauce aside.

      Cook Broccoli: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the broccoli and a splash of water. Cover and steam for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

        Cook Shrimp: In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the shrimp in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

          Combine: Once the shrimp is cooked, pour the sauce over the shrimp and stir well to coat evenly. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to thicken slightly. Add the steamed broccoli back into the skillet and stir to combine everything well.

            Serve and Garnish: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed rice or noodles.
