Ingredients

  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and onion, stir-fry for 3–4 minutes. Add broccoli and cook 4 more minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. Reduce heat slightly, stir in butter until melted. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
  4. Pour in the prepared sauce and toss to coat. Simmer 1–2 minutes until thickened into a glossy glaze.
  5. Serve over steamed jasmine or basmati rice. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

  • Swap shrimp for tofu, chicken, or scallops.
  • Try snow peas or snap peas instead of broccoli.
  • Add lime juice or orange zest for citrus brightness.
  • For crunch, stir in cashews or peanuts.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of water to keep shrimp tender.
