Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or avocado)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced thin
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup snap peas
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients (5 minutes): Peel and devein shrimp if needed. Mince garlic and slice green onions. Chop veggies into bite-sized pieces. Mix honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Cook Shrimp (3-4 minutes): Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer, season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 1.5-2 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables (3-4 minutes): Add remaining tablespoon of oil to pan. Toss in garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas. Stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Combine Sauce and Thicken (2 minutes): Stir sauce mixture, pour over vegetables. Add cornstarch slurry and stir constantly until sauce thickens and coats veggies.
  5. Return Shrimp (1 minute): Toss shrimp back into pan. Stir well to combine and warm through. Sprinkle green onions and sesame seeds on top.
  6. Serve Immediately: Plate stir-fry over steamed rice or noodles and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure shrimp sears properly. Use fresh garlic for best flavor. Keep heat high but avoid burning garlic. Adjust sauce thickness by adding water or simmering longer. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For vegan version, replace shrimp with tofu or tempeh and use tamari.
