This honey garlic shrimp with tender broccoli is a quick and simple dinner that delivers bold flavor using everyday ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, ginger, honey, and soy sauce. Set aside.
- Place the shrimp in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag. Pour ⅓ of the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and massage the bag to coat them evenly. Seal and refrigerate for 1 hour. Keep the remaining sauce covered at room temperature.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the reserved honey garlic sauce to the skillet and let it heat until steaming. Add the broccoli and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
- Discard the marinade and remove the shrimp from the bag. Working in batches, place 5-10 shrimp in the skillet and cook for 1 minute per side, or until the shrimp are curled and browned. Use tongs to scrape the shrimp into the caramelized sauce at the bottom of the skillet before removing them.
- Once the shrimp are cooked, return all the shrimp and broccoli to the skillet. Heat for 2-3 minutes, tossing to coat everything in the remaining sauce.
- Serve immediately with the leftover honey garlic sauce drizzled on top.
