Scale
Protein
- 1 lb. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 1 head broccoli, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, sliced
- 2 cups snow peas
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Others
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Green onion for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk sauce ingredients: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
- Cook the shrimp: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped broccoli, sliced bell peppers, and snow peas. Sauté vegetables until peppers are blistered and tender, approximately 5-6 minutes.
- Add garlic and shrimp: Stir in the minced garlic and cooked shrimp. Sauté together for another minute to infuse garlic flavor.
- Finish with sauce: Reduce heat to low. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce into the skillet and stir constantly for about 10 seconds, or until the sauce thickens and coats all ingredients evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately over steamed rice.
Notes
- You can use cooked shrimp — thaw it first and then cook for a few minutes in the skillet.
- Other vegetables suitable for this dish include carrots, edamame, mushrooms, and cauliflower.
- For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce or during sautéing.
