Honey Garlic Shrimp & Broccoli

Ingredients

½ cup honey

½ cup soy sauce

1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger

3 tablespoons minced garlic

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons cornstarch

1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed if desired

8 tablespoon butter

3 cups chopped broccoli

¼ cup olive oil

kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

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. Toss and marinate for 30 minutes.

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 simmer. Add in the broccoli and toss until heated through. Serve with white rice or pasta. Garnish with green onions if desired. 4 Servings.
