Recipe Summary:

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 10 minutes
• Total Time: 20 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
2. Add the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender.
4. While the broccoli is cooking, mix honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until well combined.
5. Return the shrimp to the skillet and pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
6. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Helpful Tips:

• For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the honey garlic sauce.
• If fresh broccoli isn’t available, frozen broccoli works just as well—just be sure to thaw and pat it dry before cooking.

Storage Instructions:

• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water if the sauce thickens too much.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• No shrimp? Swap with chicken or tofu for a delightful twist.
• Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.

Pairings:

• Serve this dish with a side of steamed jasmine rice or quinoa.
• Pair with a refreshing cucumber salad or a simple mixed greens salad.
