Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, raw, peeled, and deveined
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp water (for slurry)
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Garnish: sesame seeds, green onions

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Marinate shrimp with half of the mixture for 15 minutes. Reserve the other half for sauce.
  2. Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, bell pepper, and onion. Stir-fry for 3–5 minutes until crisp-tender. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Add a bit more butter to the skillet and cook shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until opaque and caramelized. Discard used marinade.
  4. Return vegetables to the skillet and pour in the reserved sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to heat through.
  5. For a thicker glaze, add the cornstarch slurry and cook until sauce thickens.
  6. Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp with chicken, steak, or tofu for variation.
  • Substitute other vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or green beans.
  • Add chili flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
  • Serve over rice or noodles for a complete meal.
  • Best enjoyed fresh; not ideal for freezing.
