Full Recipe:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup honey
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the Marinade:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and cornstarch until smooth.
Place the peeled and deveined shrimp into a bowl and add one-third of the marinade.
Toss to coat the shrimp evenly and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Cook the Broccoli:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli florets, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5–6 minutes until just tender.
Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated shrimp (discarding the marinade) and cook for 2 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce:
Add the remaining marinade to the skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked shrimp and broccoli to the skillet.
Toss to coat the shrimp and broccoli in the sauce and heat through for 1–2 minutes.
Serve immediately, optionally over rice or pasta.
