1/3 cup 80 ml	Honey
1/4 cup 60 ml	Low-sodium soy sauce
3 cloves 15 g	Garlic, minced

How to Make 15-Minute Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir-Fry

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli florets and a splash of water, covering for 2 minutes to steam-cook them slightly.

Remove the lid and add the shrimp to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp just begin to turn pink and opaque.

Pour the honey garlic sauce mixture over the shrimp and broccoli. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze and coats everything evenly.

Remove from heat immediately to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve over steamed rice or noodles.

·
Pat the shrimp completely dry with paper towels before adding them to the pan to ensure a good sear.
·
Use low-sodium soy sauce to better control the saltiness of the final dish.
·
For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or Sriracha to the sauce.
·
Don't overcook the shrimp; they are finished as soon as they form a 'C' shape and lose their translucency.
