Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 cups broccoli florets

4 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium recommended)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice or quinoa (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, cornstarch, and ginger (if using). Set aside.

    Blanch the Broccoli: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 2 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Immediately drain and transfer the broccoli to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again after 2 minutes.

      Cook the Shrimp: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

        Stir-Fry the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the blanched broccoli and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until heated through.

          Combine the Mixture: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the broccoli. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the shrimp and broccoli, stirring well to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

            Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the shrimp and broccoli to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish. Serve over cooked jasmine rice or quinoa.
