HONEY GARLIC SHRIMP AND BROCCOLI

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.
