Ingredients

• 500g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with ground black pepper, and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
3. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch dissolved in water. Pour the mixture over the broccoli in the skillet, bringing it to a simmer and allowing it to thicken, about 2 minutes.
5. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat everything evenly with the tangy sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until heated through.
6. If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and green onions for extra flavor and a beautiful garnish.
7. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy the vibrant flavors of your homemade Sizzling Shrimp and Broccoli!

Helpful Tips

Use pre-cut broccoli to save time. Remember to dry the shrimp thoroughly after peeling and deveining to achieve a better sear in the skillet. If you prefer milder flavors, you can omit the red pepper flakes. Alternatively, for a different taste profile, you can substitute the soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free version.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
